Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

I really appreciate extra security offered by HSBC, even when it comes with some inconvenience.
Qsto
I was unable to move savings from one of my accounts to another because HSBC locked the savings account due to a concern over a transaction. It took over a week and a visit to a branch to sort it out. Why didn’t you call me instead of locking the account?
FJS101
The HSBC app as a whole is okay, it does what you need it to. But we’d like to see some features like dark mode and the ability to rename accounts. A lot of people may have 2-3 accounts, like me and it’s confusing for people to organise their money if they don’t have a nickname on the account.
