HSBC UK re-introduces £125 Current Account switch offer
The cash offer of £125 to new customers, which will be available to switchers to the Advance and Premier current accounts, comes into effect on the 15th September.
Fiona McCaffrey, HSBC UK’s Head of Everyday Banking, said: “The restrictions that have been put in place with the initial lockdown really gave people time to think about friends, family and finances amongst other things. This cash incentive of £125 could provide a little ray of sunshine in what has been a difficult year.”
The offer will be available to new to bank customers who apply and start a full switch using the Current Account Switch Service (CASS) including a minimum of two Direct Debits and/or Standing Orders, within 30 days of the date of the account being opened.
