  Justin Joy (@Justin_M_Joy) reported 21 seconds ago from Chelmsford, England

  @HSBC_UK Really I should look for some other banks to work with? Minimum 22 minutes to talk to @HSBC_UK customer care executive looooong waiting line. No more transaction with your un regularised unstructured Global money account who cannot provide me a Swift copy as per your policy

  Jayne Pocock (@jayne_pocock) reported 9 minutes ago from Basildon, England

  @HSBC_UK can anyone explain why my global account atm card doesn’t work, can’t be read by HSBC arms or used to purchase goods? Interestingly my husband has the exact same issue. Apparently I@must call the global account helpdesk which only operates Mon-Fri 8am - 6pm………..

  @HSBC_UK Then may be we can escalate to the financial ombudsman or someone with authority. I hope your team is aware that your app showing 72hrs deadline for transaction done through Global money account and HSBC mobile app. If it's a Glitch please update the deadline.

  @HSBC_UK Called customer support on 25-11-2022. You executive said I will get a call back on 26-11-2022 and your team will mail me the Swift copy for the transaction I done with global account. No call back and no Swift copy yet. Chat support will take 1 hr (MOBA says so).

  @HSBC_UK Yes. The issue is resolved I was happy to update the same here. But you know what, same happened for the transaction on 5th December 2022. As per my understanding, based on previous experience the new one will not be resolved for another 1 month. @HSBC_UK worst experience

  @GrahamBoylan @HSBC_UK We've had the same problem mate! A comedy of errors with them. Have wasted almost 2 full days on hold to them too over the past 3 months

  @HSBC_UK is it really necessary to be kept on hold for nearly 90 minutes to support an elderly and disabled gentleman to make a simple payment? Completely unhelpful.

  @HSBC_UK Your executive who was handling this situation made things terrible. But I like to express my happiness for those people supported from the 25th over call and chat support. You took some time to resolve it, but I am happy we finally settled!!! Thankyou!!!1

  Mark (@MorganMF9867) reported 2 minutes ago

  @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

  Caryn Cox DStJ DL 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🇳🇱 (@caryncoxphealth) reported 2 minutes ago

  @HSBC_UK failed responses to emails to named account as requested by staff member @ Malvern branch. Rang number on business card. Unable to help. Am trying to open an account and make deposit. Any customer care? Any assistance?

• 
  Superficialsupermum (@superficialmum) reported 4 minutes ago

  @HSBC_UK Still cannot access my business funds and cannot operate as a business. Back end issue for everyone who switched over from Kinetic (which was all sorted over a week ago) but now cannot access the account.

  Stuart Fox (@stuartfoxmusic) reported 8 minutes ago

  @HSBC_UK So you’ll engage when it’s fun, but block me after you’ve been abusive and insulting and I just want an apology and assurance it won’t happen again.

  Tim Huckle (@timhuckle) reported 8 minutes ago

  @kyle213187 @HSBC_UK Also. Seems to be a glitch.

• 
  Teddy (Theodora) Leppington (@TeddyLeppington) reported 9 minutes ago

  @HSBC_UK Not sure why I'm a customer. Bring back the days of The Midland. Up to 70 days for an ISA transfer in? Nationwide. Mum's done in a day. Money sitting in my last bank's holding account. I'm earning NOTHING! Branch sent a complaint in April. 1 email. We haven't sorted it

  The mobile app support team isn't helping saying they don't have further access. @HSBC_UK

  John Kefas (@kefasjohn) reported 11 minutes ago

  @HSBC_UK And I can't login to my Internet banking cos my device (like calculator) is not working anymore. I contacted you guys via mobile number and complained but I was asked to send some documents for confirmation before they could unfreeze my account which I did... 2

  @HSBC_UK Hi, I’ve cancelled my credit card and the app has now signed me out. I still have a document I need to read but can’t access it. Will this be sent to me in the post instead? I’m assuming it just says to cut up the card, but I’m not sure.
