Fiona Anderson, HSBC UK’s Head of Everyday Banking, said: “For many millions of people, 2020 was a defining year, whether as result of home schooling, changes to working patterns or financially. We have already seen that 2021 will be unpredictable too, but there is light at the end of the tunnel and we all hope we can return to some kind of normality sooner rather than later.
“We know that health and money are the two most common subjects people have been thinking about during the pandemic and while we are in the midst of this lockdown, we might be able to provide a little financial boost for those switching your banking to us, with £125 on offer for switching to our Advance or Premier current accounts.
“There are plenty of additional benefits through HSBC UK that can save customers money, whether it’s by using our handy financial fitness tool and supporting guides to assess and improve your financial health, enabling people to save while they spend with our Home and Away offers, as well as a free gift or cashback when taking out insurance with our innovative Select And Cover insurance. All in all, you could earn or save yourself hundreds of pounds, which could come in really handy at this challenging time.”
