hsbc.co.uk Reviews

The online side of Hsbc is very secure and you will need to remember your security questions and number in order to sign up to online banking. When you log in you need your Internet banking user ID along with your security number plus date of birth. I think this method from Hsbc is very good as it keeps its banker very safe online. The more ...  Read the complete review

I think I've been into a HSBC branch about once in the past 5 years other than to pay cheques in. This is thanks to the online banking service, gone are the days of long ques in banks and rushing to branches in lunch breaks. It's now just a few clicks away, I will check my balance later and it will take me just a few minutes to ...  Read the complete review

Just to be clear here, I am reviewing the online banking side of HSBC, as opposed to the actual bank itself. I make this distinction as I don't want this review to be about HSBC deals, promotions or offers. These will change frequently anyway. I have held a current and savings account with HSBC for over twenty years now. There is only ...  Read the complete review

I have held a account with HSBC since I was, oooh, 11 or so...? A long time anyway. When I went to Uni, I signed up with a few different banks to benefit from the student freebies, but hated dealing with any bank other than HSBC. I have since stayed loyal to this bank, & now hold several accounts with them. I signed up to the ...  Read the complete review

I have been a member on HSBC online banking for quite a while now - so long that I can't remember! Probably at least 2 years, so I must admit I'm not hot on how long it takes them to send you all your login details but as far as I remember it wasn't too long. I am also an online banking member of Barclays, Abbeys, Tesco Personal Finance, ING and ...  Read the complete review

I have had a bank account since the age of 12, I used to bank with NatWest but after a few disagreements I decided to move on and I thought why not open an account with the worlds local bank, HSBC. Originally I just assumed it would be exactly the same as NatWest, but hold on, I was instantly set up with online banking. I am ...  Read the complete review

HSBC's online banking system is one of the best I have used, and I have had the opportunity to sample several online banking systems in the last few years. The system seems very secure, a long personal identifier is assigned to you, which you quickly memorise if you log on daily to check as I do. You then have to enter your birthday, and 3 digits ...  Read the complete review

I have used Hsbc as my main bank all my life and think it is a good bank to be with. I always go on the online banking as it saves ringing up and waiting to speak to someone and it costing loads on your phone bill. The Hsbc site is easy to use when you log on to there website you register with them. Then after that all you have to do when you ...  Read the complete review

Although I am not a big fan of banks and building societies, this one is worth a mention. The online services offered by hsbc.co.uk work very well... heck, they don't even complain that I am using an Apple Mac :-) Logging into the personal account requires an IB number, which is issued when you register for the service. Then it is just ...  Read the complete review

For anyone looking for information about HSBC financial products, looking to order online, or for anyone whom already banks with HSBC there is hsbc.co.uk. The main reason I use this website is because I already bank with HSBC and like to manage my finances online to save myself from having to visit a branch every day just to check my ...  Read the complete review

I switched my current account to HSBC several years ago and then started to use internet banking last year and it's the best financial tool to use. I have never had a problem. With HSBC all your accounts summaries (current, savings and credit cards) are on the one page, and then you can go into detail for each. You have options which ...  Read the complete review

I've been using HSBC for a few months now and have only encountered one problem. That was because of my browser, firefox. It didn't change the security code i needed to enter so I was entering the wrong one which resulted in a lock-out. I then phoned Customer Support who asked me 3 questions (where i live, my DOB ....). I find the ...  Read the complete review

I have recently started to use internet banking with HSBC! Having had my first baby I havn't the time to go to town just to transfer money and to check my statements! My partner suggested I try it and I am glad I did! The website itself is full of information on loans, credit cards bank accounts, mortgages, insurances etc! ...  Read the complete review

No doubt that HSBC is a well reputed bank in the UK as well as through out the wolrd. It has been praised and much appreciated for many of its services and products. This review is entirely based on our personal experience and is an actual narration of what we came across. on 25th of April 2004, I visited with my wife one of the high street ...  Read the complete review

There seems to be a distinct lack of reviews on banks "Premier", high value customer services. Most of the banks on the high street now offer a service for high income, high worth individuals. However, the services and products available are rarely known, even by the customers who supposedly benefit from them! HSBC ...  Read the complete review

It's expanding all the time - Advantages: Manageability of daily finance, Reliability, Availability - Disadvantages: Pop-up windows on login, Web-chat is slow

I have been banking with HSBC for about 8 months now & find their internet banking facility brilliant, it's very easy to use, you can bounce between your savings & current account very easily. The transfer of money between them is very self explanatory & simple. I spend a lot of time on the internet everyday & as I work for an ...  Read the complete review

I started being a student 4 years ago, and decided to join the HSBC (then Midland). As a joiner they gave me the option of £50 or a four year Student railcard. I decided on the railcard, and have saved well over £400 using it in the past four years (it saves you a third off rail prices, so if you are a student, I recomend that you get a railcard ...  Read the complete review

I now bank online with three companies: Egg, Barclays, and HSBC (although I still keep wanting to call them Midland!). I started with Barclays, both the normal account and Barclaycard, and those two services were almost enough to put me off online banking for good! Eggs service was better, but not enough to restore my faith. I ...  Read the complete review
