  @firstdirecthelp moving to debit m/Card is a bad idea until you can offer the full service to pay cash in. You ever tried paying in cash at @HSBC_UK counter? You literally have to argue with staff who try and force you to pay in via the deposit machine as it is.

  @HSBC_UK @HSBC Can you say when the Business Banking Website will be back up and running please? No ability to log in. #blackscreen

  @ermitjustis @HSBC_UK @firstdirect You’re kidding! All my cards (including HSBC ones) have now changed to this new style. Does that mean I can’t pay in ANY cash? Counter service seems to be a thing of the past.

  @HSBC_UK is your mobile banking down? Error message, can’t log in this morning.

  @HSBC_UK Hi, I need a new card reader pin number and haven’t been able to get through on the number for the past week! Any chance you could help please?

  Hi @HSBC_UK Been on the phone for almost 1.5 hours trying to get through to customer services and been cut off every single time whilst being transferred. This is so frustrating when counter services are being closed and online/telephone banking remain the only options

  @HSBC @HSBC_UK at it again, just had a cancelled subscription taken from my "frozen/locked" card. Absolute piece of **** of a bank, and support even said they weren't authorised.

  @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 you must have the absolute worst customer service of any bank in the uk!

  @HSBC_UK spent an hour in the bank last week proving ourselves for your “safeguarding” process, your staff member said it was done - yet you still block our business account anyway, with no notification until we try to pay a very important bill! Fuming is an understatement 🤬

  @HSBC_UK I have been trying for an hour and a half this morning to make a payment on behalf of my mother, for whom I have power-of-attorney, and your operator has now hung up on me. This is terrible service, it can’t be this hard to make a pyt.

  I was the receiver of the most unhelpful customer service by @HSBC_UK today. Seems helping a customer try and get a new card (which has been lost) is not a priority! That’ll be me switching then!

  @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?

  @ricci_kitchen @HSBC_UK I had the same email - I wonder if it’s a glitch.

  @HSBC_UK I just used chat in the app and it seems i was connected to a very lazy person who didn't want to help me. Or a massively incompetent moron who didn't know what they where doing! I'm guessing its not UK based. Can you let me know the times the chat is manned by UK staff please?
