I have submitted demat account opening form to HDFC bank they have not opened even after 50+ days when asked about my form they don't have any information about it. HDFC securities is worst in terms of customer services they don't value customers and just waste time. HDFC group staff due to irresponsible behaviour will one spoil name of bank & securities this my experience with them

Very cluttered website. When a trade has been placed and executed, it does not show up in the basket right away or even after an hour. Most of the time, half the functions are 'currently not available'. I have used other bank's brokerage services, specially western banks..Indian banks can learn alot from them to make it user friendly.

When you make a trade, it does not show you how much the trading fee is going to be.
There is no 'expert' report coverage available from their analyst for you to view.
Barley any access to third party reviews or rating agencies review.

The website is slow to load and generally laggy.

Will move my portfolio to a different service provider as soon as I can.

One of the worst mobile apps in the market always down when trading time starts.Despite several complaints no improvement.Portfolio and demat doesn't match.Lot of loss due to their inefficiency.Phone calls are not attended head weight is more.Planning to go before consumer forum.All the customers should form an association to fight and get justice.

HDFC Security brokerage is so very high that one can never reduce cost of acquisition when markets are down. The price difference is eaten up by these people through their high brokerage per share and you would notice your average price to be still very high, no matter how many shares you may buy. I think other platforms like ICICI Direct or Zerodha is much better.

407.1. Rudolf Feb 29, 2020 11:01

Brokerage is in competition with brokerage houses..services are also fine.
