In the event your complaint was not resolved to your satisfaction, you have the option of escalating the issue to the Financial Ombudsman Service, an independent agency tasked by Parliament to resolve disputes between consumers and financial institutions. We suggest that you call the Ombudsman first at 0300 123 9 123 or 0800 023 4567 prior to submitting your complaint. This is to allow both you and Ombudsman to evaluate your case.

 

To proceed with your complaint, please download the form from here. If you intend to email the form, please fill in the required information and send it to complaint.info@financial-ombudsman.org.uk. Otherwise, print the form, fill it up, and send it by regular mail to The Financial Ombudsman Service, Exchange Tower, London E14 9SR.

 

5. CALLING HSBC CUSTOMER SERVICES

HSBC is a massive financial organisation with millions of customers. The volume of calls to its customer service hotline probably amounts thousands every day. As such, to make sure that you are not placed on hold for too long, try making the call during off-peak hours. If you are a customer with HSBC, you can even call late in the evening as the hotline is open until 10 p.m.

 

To ensure that you convey a comprehensive and accurate detail of your complaint or query, it is advisable to take notes prior to making the call. It is also a good idea to prepare any and all documentations relevant to your call instead of running to search for them when asked by the customer service rep.

 

Finally, please keep your calm, regardless of how annoyed and frustrated you might be feeling. Anger will make you less articulate and logical, and you may not be able to convey your argument or explanation effectively. Further, being confrontational will likely invoke a similar response from the customer service personnel.

 

So remember, stay calm and be prepared!

 

6. ABOUT HSBC Holdings plc

HSBC Holdings plc is Europe’s largest bank with assets exceeding $2.65 trillion. To put that figure into perspective, United Kingdom’s GDP for 2017 is a shade lower at $2.62 trillion. HSBC is also the seventh largest bank in the world. In 2017, the company’s sprawling financial empire generated revenues of almost $51.5 billion, and employs about 230,000 people around the world.

 

HSBC was established more than one and a half century ago by Aberdeen native Sir Thomas Sutherland in Hong Kong, which at the time, was a little-known port that was better known for exporting opium produced in mainland China. Sir Thomas could have never imagined how the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, as HSBC was known originally, would grow into the behemoth that it has become today.
