HSBC UK offer helps advance towards £300 in cash
The bank is introducing an exclusive current account switch offer worth £175, for those who apply through the MoneySuperMarket or MoneySavingExpert websites. This offer is available alongside 6 months’ cashback on HSBC UK’s innovative ‘mix and match’ insurance offer, Select and Cover worth £117.
The current account switch offer is available until 29th April 2022. The Select and Cover cashback offer is available until 5th July 2022.
Tom Wolfenden, HSBC UK’s Head of Retail, said: “Our popular switching offer has returned, and for a limited time, exclusively for those applying through MoneySuperMarket and MoneySavingExpert, customers who are switching their current account to us will receive £175 in cash. With a potential additional £117 cashback when taking out Select and Cover insurance, customers can be almost £300 better off by switching to HSBC UK.
“With the cost of living seemingly increasing by the week, the cash benefits of these offers could be very welcome. With the cost of Select and Cover insurance comparing favourably against standalone policies, ongoing savings can be made on important insurance like mobile phone, car breakdown or worldwide travel insurance, potentially saving over £635 for equivalent or better cover”.
Select and Cover is a pay monthly service and customers can cancel at any time without penalty. Each policy covers the policy holder, their spouse, domestic or civil partner and their children.
