In addition to the £200 cash that is on offer, customers can also benefit from a 3.00% AER / gross interest rate on the bank’s Online Bonus Saver (up to £10k) which could encourage an important savings habit.
Plus, when used in conjunction with other discounts - for example HSBC UK’s ‘home and Away’ scheme which includes a selection of discounts and offers for credit and debit card holders - customers can continue to make savings that could be worth hundreds of pounds of a year.
The home and Away discounts, which are available to customers across all current accounts and credit cards are accessed online through the site and available to use with online purchases as well as those made in person with many different merchants and retailers. Offers include many household names across travel, dining, experiences, shopping, wellbeing and education.
