Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

I wish I had read the reviews . As an international nomad working in UAE I can confirm that HSBC AE is the worst bank I have ever had the misfortune to open an account with . There is zero customer service , they blocked my new account opening with 1000 AED refused to return the funds and only after complaining continuously do I manage to retrieve the cash . No apologoes , nothing from them . I opened an online account with Mashreq banking 5 minutes - debit card the following day - a complete difference from the fools at HSBC . Do not waste your time .

Worst bank in the WORLD! I have not been able to complete my tax filings because the stupid security device battery stopped working and this was during covid. They locked me out of the account and I've been trying for 4 years to get back on. With service charges accumulating every month the account over drafted and right when it seemed we were ready to fix the issue, they closed my account. It almost felt deliberate, very strange bank to work with and I just don't understand how they still even exist, I only hear complaints about them nothing else.

I recommend every one to never use this bank choose other one , because HSBC simply will make you regret on the day that you choose to open account with them and use their services, in daily basis experience, and no respect no customer loyalty even if you stay with them 1 thousand years they will also not respect, save your time and use any other bank in UAE

I was told by American Express credit card service that the monthly bill payment could be settled at any HSBC bank or at their ATM service centres, even if one does not have an HSBC bank account. Sadly, it is totally incorrect! I tried unsuccessfully at HSBC'S ATM, and therefore went upstairs to the enquiry desk at the main building in Central. I was attended to by a female front desk employee and thence explained the information to her stating clearly I did not have an HSBC account but would like to settle my American Express credit card bill, whether it was possible. She subsequently said yes and pointed me to the middle section of the deposit area to queue and to pay cash there. After two hours standing in the very slow moving queue, I got to the deposit desk and the male employee told me they cannot take cash or cheques to settle American Express credit card bills, it is purely for HSBC account holders, he was super polite, and what he said made sense. I was very upset with the enquiry desk person who gave answers even though she was not clear on the answer, giving the impression she preferred to continue to chitchat with her colleagues. For such a prestigious bank, I was incredibly unimpressed by the lack of training or care for clients/ potential clients. To senior management of HSBC: please review the service of the bank overall if you wish to continue being a successful bank, account holders were very upset with the service desk over other inquiries and the very slow services.

It is one of Hong Kong's representative buildings. At night, it is beautifully illuminated with fire-like red lights, and I really like the continuity of the exposed escalators, giving it a great modern feel.

The HSBC Main Building is the most spectacular building in Hong Kong. It is the main building in Hong Kong of the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, which is headquartered in London. HSBC is Europe's largest bank. It was designed by the eminent British architect, Norman Foster. The HSBC Main Building has a striking location near the waterfront of Victoria Harbor. It is ablaze with lights at night.

I lived in Hong Kong for 19 years. Used HSBC for business and personal banking. It is the worst in the world. Not helpful at all, they simply don't care and don't want to actually help you. Even for the simplest transactions, everything is tedious and overcomplicated. After jumping through all the hoops, issues still come up half the time. Their "English-speaking staff"does not actually understand simple English. Accessing my account and money is sometimes an issue, especially when traveling overseas.
I have spent hours on the phone in order to perform simple tasks or get straightforward information. They simply do not care anymore.
I have now moved out of Hong Kong and I am still having problems closing my account.
Whatever you do, avoid HSBC at all costs.
You have been warned.
Thank you for reading.

The two large bronze lions that normally guard the front of the HSBC building disappeared during 2020 for repairs but they are now back and re-installed. Their names, Stitt and Stephen were an in-joke in the 1920s. The roaring lion on the left, was named after A.G. Stephen, Chief Manager of HSBC in 1920. On the right is Stitt, named after G. H. Stitt, Manager Shanghai HSBC.
They have been a familiar fixture since the 1930s.Traditionally, people stroke the lions’ paws and noses for luck and prosperity. In fact the lions themselves have been pretty lucky. First, they survived the Japanese invasion during WWII, with only a few shrapnel wounds (you can still see the scars or dents in Stephen’s back). Next they were ripped out and sent off to Japan, earmarked to be melted down for scrap metal. Good timing intervened and the war ended so they narrowly escaped this fate. Even so, they may have still been lost if it hadn’t been for an observant and discerning American sailor who recognised the lions in an Osaka dock in 1945. They were safely returned home to Hong Kong.

Waiting since 4 years to get the account working. Waiting time at telephone every 120 minutes music. They are not organized at all. It is the most horrible bank I have seen in my life.

Along with the Bank of China, this is one of Hong Kong’s most iconic buildings.
They were built at pretty much the same time in the mid-1980s and comparisons were inevitable.
Norman Foster, the HSBC architect had several advantages at the time. Firstly, he had a stonking great budget of HK$5.2 billion (5 times the Bank of China budget). Foster’s only limitation was that the bank had to be “the best bank building in the world”. No pressure then.
Amazingly, Foster hadn’t built outside the UK before and hadn’t built anything over 3 stories. The HSBC building is 44 storeys and was ground-breaking. The main structure consisted of 5 steel modules, prefabricated in the UK and shipped to Hong Kong.
Unlike the Bank of China, you can go inside because the atrium level is a normal bank branch open to the public. The internal structure is equally as dramatic as the outside and it is worth heading up the street level escalator to have a look. You can take photos of the structure but not of the actual banking areas.
If you walk through the open street level, there are a series of panels describing the history of the site and some great old B&W photos, including some showing the original shoreline before land reclamation pushed it right back (hard to imagine that the water used to come right up to this site).
The HSBC building is part of the Symphony of Lights so one of the best views is at night, from the Star Ferry or Kowloon side where you can see light show that plays out on the façade.
NOTE: Disappointingly, the 2 famous stone lions guarding the building are temporarily covered with hoarding while some damage is being repaired.

Can you go inside the HBSC Building and how much can you see -- how far into the building are you allowed access?
Skrevet 10. desember 2017
