They may have been a large bank that didn’t take TARP money, but I wouldn’t call them a US bank. They are headquartered in the UK and have half their assets in Europe and just 1/4 in the US.

On a positive note, this was one of the few large US banks to not take any TARP money

WHO HATES HBSC AS MUCH AS I DO!!!!!!! Damn suckers!!!!! I HATE HSBC they just screwed me out of $39 late fee. I have paid 7 payments on my card this year sofar. So I pay them on 03/01/2010 ( one day early for March should have paid on 03/02) and they hit me for late charges as they say that was my billing date and the payment went towards the previous month and did not count towards the next months bill. So …sucker me for paying .. what I thought was way before the due date .. which was 03/24 What the hell!!!!! I have been a consitant customer, paying mostly twice a month and early. Damn suckers just lost me as a 5 year customer!!!!! I HATE HSBC …. I hope OBAMA kick their asses!!! I AM FUMING!!!!!!!

Found your blog through the hsbcreviews.com website. I’ve been banking with HSBC for almost 5 years now and I have a credit car through them. It has been the worst 5 years of my life. Example: Today, I tried to call the branch I opened my account with to talk to a manager about unbelievable fees. He said he was with a client and would call me back.

That was almost 8 hours ago and still no phone call.

And this wasn’t the first time this fee problem occurred.

I just changed my direct deposit to Chase. Cya HSBC.

We do bank locally for most of our needs. We simply chose the HSBC credit card in order to get the cashback rewards. We don’t do any other business with HSBC.

In 1979, I was enjoying the last carefree year of my life. The burdens of kindergarten set in during the fall of 1980

I wanted to correct an error in my post above. It was 1987 that I became a Discover Card member. 1979 was the year I bought my first car.

It’s too bad you and your wife have had such a hassle with your credit card. Although Visa & MasterCard are accepted in more places than Discover Card, I’ve been a Discover Card member since 1979 and have never experienced any problems with it. For those looking for a quality credit card, I would highly recommend Discover Card. And, may I add, Discover Card has never had any security breaches as far as I know.

As for HSBC, aren’t they one of the main banks that accepted the government bailout? No wonder they can’t get their act together. I would recommend you join a local credit union for your banking needs.
