HSBC Holdings Complaints & Reviews

HSBC Holdings — Unauthorised Transaction

I made a complaint regarding an unauthorized transaction from UberEats days before with so much difficulty as their hotlines are NEVER answered by agents- the call goes through and get disconnected after being put on hold for SO LONG!! After finally lodging a complaint an agent reaches out to tell me that the team will investigate and get in touch with the merchant regarding this transaction, however after DAYS without a response when i ask them for an update they tell me that they will need ME to contact the merchant and that they are "unable to consider this transaction as not authorized."
WITHOUT EVEN REACHING OUT TO THE MERCHANT FROM THEIR END. PUTRID SERVICE, I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THIS BANK TO ANYONE!!

    HSBC Holdings — Banking service

    Worst bank ever
    OMG, this is UNBELIEVABLE!!!
    The staff soo rude and unfriendly.
    The service is sooo poor
    It's like you are the one to serve them
    People please don't ever think to joint this bank. It was a nightmare for me!!
    It seems they don't care about the customer.
    They blocked my account and after months of communications, emails, phone calls they come with a excuus with no explanation. Ohhh man. This is not acceptable

      HSBC Holdings — international domiciliary account number;[protected]

      Please varify the account above with the account name Steve Mauri Abu. Is this a real account because I have HSBC Visa card for that account. The account had deposit of £550000.00 a winning promotion of Nokia Co UK. Please check if the money still exist because after completing all fees imposed by HSBC bank I was not issued pin number to use the card. The online service director Mr. Brian Robertson and Nokia UK Agent Dr. David Dean I believed collaborated and hijacked the winning funds. Please I need an audit to my Visa card account. Thank you

        HSBC Holdings — customers services and loans.

        Bad customers services.

        Nobody cares about customer satisfaction.

        I had an account with many banks in UAE but HCBS was my worst experience I had in my life.

        I went direct to HSBC branch yas mall for my personal loan early closure, there I met Mr Rafiq who give me wrong information cost me around 800 and after that, I raised a request to refund money back as it's not my bad, but they reply was shoke as I received a call from another person working in same branch who call me in a bad manner telling me case closed we don't have right to refund your money back, and when I asked him back for further explanation he keep reading that he will close the phone if I keep asking or talking because he is busy with other customers.

        this time a raised complain against him but the reply was disappointing that nothing happened and nobody told you anything wrong and case closed.
        without even apologize

          HSBC Holdings — debit card fraud

          I faced two unauthorized transactions from my debit card account from HSBC yesterday. One a purchase of AED 472.38 from Etc IVR 101 and within seconds later a purchase of AED 286.40 from Etc IVR 101 ! I was shocked and I contacted my bank and I was asked to submit a dispute form and while on the conversation with a representative from customer care, another transaction of AED 2522.39 was attempted but declined . I have submitted the dispute form and blocked my card . This is very disappointing to see how trustworthy banks like HSBC could have unauthorized transactions processed ! I would like to know when my money would be refunded .

            HSBC Holdings — e-statement of my credit card [protected]

            Name : Chin Jet Choon; Credit card no : [protected]

            I would like to complain that this is the second time your bank has failed to send me the e-statement for the month of October 2019. As a result, I was charged a penalty for late payment and incurred the finance charge again.

            When the case happened the first time in September, I called up to inquire about the finance charge and the penalty charge for the late payment. I was quite happy when your staff agreed to waive the charges for me followed by the assurance to send me the e-statement in future.

            If this is going to happen again every month, I would be forced to make extra payment which is absolutely not necessary, to your bank. I am wondering why you can send all the promotion matters to my email but not the e statement.

            I am very particular about my account and would not be happy to see those financial and penalty charges appearing in my account. I am considering to terminate my credit card if the situation is not rectified.

            Thank you.

              HSBC Holdings — poor response and ability to resolve issue

              I had being using HSBC for 3 years and i am getting very disappointed to HSBC on following issue

              1. My Visa signature credit card had been double charge with SST since last year and this issue haven't resolve until now.

              2. I had being charged SST on my cancelled card.

              3. The issue reported need to take 5 working day to resolve and i wonder why HSBC cannot make decision immediately. This lead to keep on dragging customer for quite some time.

              4. Slow pick up on phone call

              Please consider this as i would like to cancel my all my account with HSBC and i am tired on keep on waiting on my issue being address. In term benefit and response other bank is much better than HSBC.

              Thanks for keeping me busy...

                  HSBC Holdings — unauthorised transaction on card no [protected]

                  My HSBC credit card had been aunthorised transaction on 14th Oct, I called HSBC directly to cancel the card immediately when this transaction happen and they refunded me that amount on November after I fill in the dispute form.
                  However on January, HSBC sent me letter said that the merchant bank said the transaction is valid and they charge me back this amount and ask me to pay for it.
                  I already called customer service saying that this transaction is not by me and I refuse to pay. I even cancel the replacement card issued by HSBC after this unthorised transaction incident happened.
                  I'm not sure how the third party theft my card information and issued this transaction. There must be some leakage of information from the HSBC side as I didn't lost the card.
                  How can HSBC secure a customer by refunded the amount and then charge back the amount. I was very dissatisfied with HSBC. I'll not use any HSBC product in the future.

                    HSBC Dubai — bank

                    i have no idea how hsbc is like if you lived in dubai and could walk into a branch (if I could, it would be to close my account and never set foot again), but trying to do anything while overseas is impossible!
                    Today I called to request 2 bank transfers. I have been on the phone for 50 minutes so far and not even finished the first! I have every bit of information (this is my 5th call in 3 weeks - yes, the same transfer I have not been able to make all this time) - I provided it the second I was asked, so what on earth do they do when they put me on hold and go away for 20 min each time?
                    And if only that was all...
                    I requested a security device 1 month ago. Never received it. One month later I still do not know what happened, I still do not have the device - it is on my list to ask about in this current call, but the way it is going, now 1.17 hr into the call and still on on hold, I probably won;t get the chance before the line drops or hsbc just wears me out. Listening to the same music over and over again is a one of those controversial torture techniques they use in war camps. I have listened to the music on hold for over 4 hours in the last few weeks - and still have not completed the first transfer. Its worthy of record books.

HSBC is big name please improve your service.

                      Moreover, in your new SABB net portal (website) there is a issue, every time while sending message it says special characters are not allowed even if there is no special character. it is may be your technical team have saved normal character as a special character in back end.
