HSBC UK sees in 2022 with £150 current account switch offer

HSBC UK is giving current account switchers the opportunity to see in 2022 with a £150 cash boost, the bank announced today.

HSBC UK’s latest current account switch offer gives £150 in cash to new customers1 switching to an Advance2 or Premier3 current account and runs from 29th December 2021 until further notice.

Tom Wolfenden, HSBC UK’s Head of Retail Banking, said: “The new year is a great time to reflect on the previous year, whilst also looking ahead to the next. We can recalibrate our thoughts, reset our priorities and make resolutions. Very many peoples’ finances will have changed in some way over the last year or so, and reviewing your finances could be a good way to spend a couple of hours over Christmas and New Year. It could even make you £150 better off if you switch your current account to our HSBC Advance or Premier current accounts. Switching a current account is easy and our app and our smart money tools will help you keep an eye on your spending and stay on top of your finances during the new year.”
