HSBC Doubles Premier Switching Bonus To £500

The move signals a push for high‑earning switchers through tight rules alongside a linked Isa offer.

Overview

  • HSBC UK raised its Premier switching bonus to £500 for customers who move their current account using the Current Account Switch Service.
  • People who applied under the earlier £250 deal will receive the full £500 if they meet the eligibility rules.
  • To qualify, applicants must either pay in an annual personal salary of at least £100,000 or hold £100,000 or more in savings or investments with HSBC UK.
  • The offer applies to Premier accounts opened on or after 23 March 2026, and a full switch must complete within 90 days of opening.
  • Existing or recent HSBC UK or first direct current account holders from 1 January 2025 do not qualify, and the bank says it can withdraw the promotion without notice.
