  @HSBC_UK I have a situation: I opened an account using your app (all online). All checks passed, but the account now has an incorrect name and no clear way to fix it. I've tried online support and visited your branch. How can I escalate this and get it resolved? It has already been few weeks any help is greatly appreciated

  @HSBC_UK when you send out credit cards and explain how to register do anyone working at HSBC try the instructions to see that it doesn’t work? I can’t understand how in 2026 something like this is so bad and frustrating. I’ve tried online and the mobile app

  @HSBC_UK dreadful combative approach by complaints handler Monica. You get my tax status incorrect, as I'm only the POA on my brother's account, then blame me for your error. It's taken since Oct 2025 to get here. Help @financialombuds

  @HSBC_UK I recently held a credit card account which I have since closed and notified you about this yet you’ve since sent me a letter saying there are unread documents in my folder. But I can’t remember any of my log in details to view them. Can you help?

  @HSBC_UK @thandiwntsgmail Interestingly,you blocked my telephone banking access on 30th March. You didn't notify me, I found out on the 17th April. Asked on the call to reset it,told it wasn't possible over the phone. That was a barefaced lie. Been told by your complaints team that it is possible. Lies!!

  @HSBC_UK You really are going to the dogs. Recently e have had several problems with our service. This evening I wanted to edit a payee and could not manage the change so thought I’d email securely but oh no that facility has been removed. Use chat! Will look into alternatives

  @msparkled @HSBC_UK @HSBC_UK agreed. Absolutely useless. A terrible product. With all their profits you'd think they would make a better effort at the app especially the cheque feature. More than once I've had to go to a post office as the app failed and the branches are closed.

  @HSBC_UK my god - an hour talking to agents on here who cant under stand my issue and have just advised to go back to the app where the chat bot can’t understand anything and nobody in real customer services can make a call to a customer apparently…..

  @NaomiLWood @HSBC_UK That is so annoying. Had a similar problem recently.The frustration is so real and practically physical as one gets more and more stressed. Good luck.

  @HSBC_UK Is it possible to set up an Executor account without already being an existing customer of HSBC?
