Has anyone ever asked why HSBC fail (and refuse) to disclose on your bank statement the cost to HSBC of overseas currency transactions They have a COST that they add their percentage. SO why not tell you what the COST is? Maybe someone might check their math.

HSBC cleverly only show the RESULT after HSBC have “manipulated” the exchange rate adding what ever percentage they feel like The customer can NEVER check if you are being ripped off?. anything from 2.7% to 10% and you will never know the truthful percentage that HSBC do load to each transaction

I actually asked the question and have been made to run the HSBC gauntlet for 17 months. Still HSBC will not tell me the net cost to them charged by the overseas operator
Why is that? I hear you ask. I will tell you if you promise not to tell anyone else Most HSBC customers either don’t care or are blissfully ignorant what HSBC are charging you. “Customers sent from heaven” for anyone who wants to rip them off or just honest folk who would never believe that Europe’s largest bank would deliberately rip you off.

For the don’t care and the blissfully ignorant Quick draw your cash out and dash down to Arthur Daley’s second-hand car lot he looking for mug punters.
