Is HSBC fucking garbage or what?

Less is not more here. What happened?

you are right, they are a garbage bank. in my own personal experience, I signed up for one of their $300 checking account promotions, followed all the rules to a T, and after 6 months they claimed I was wrong and did the promotion incorrectly. wouldn't give me the $300 until I threatened to sue.

also, HSBC helped terrorist groups and Mexican cartels launder money through their accounts (see link below). Netflix did a documentary on it a while back (I think it was within the Dirty Money series).

They are absolute scum.

Holy Shit the Bank's Collapsing

I've been on hold for 45 minutes after returning their call. This is getting kind of fun. I'm really determined now. I'm gonna be like an HSBC platinum member one day. I'm gonna work my way up the corporate ladder. Become HSBC's CEO. Burn it to the ground from within.

They’re a major PITA. Customer support there is garbagio other than your “Premier Relationship Manager” or whatever they call them if you have enough money parked there. Took several weeks to setup a simple savings account when I already had a checking there.

I'm still in a heated battle with HSBC. I watched the Netflix version of American Greed episode on them. Fucking sheisters. I'm tweeting angry things at them every 2 days per my calendar reminder.

They finally mailed me some dispute forms after 2 months and like 6 attempts. The only way to send them back is via fax. Lawl. HSBC is traaaaaaaash

I can sort of attest. I got a cc with them a year ago for the zero rate. Their site is antiquated and not clear at all. They have an app, but it doesn’t work, like you can’t even get the log in screen to function. The fuckers blamed it on my iPad, as if my other hundred apps ever have a problem. Turns out I wouldn’t be able to use the app to actually pay my bill anyway lol.

This is HSBC
