Fixed Rate Saver
-
Choose a 1-year or 2-year term, and deposit any amount from £2,000 to £1 million
-
Get a fixed rate of interest for the duration of the term. Earn between 4.05% AER / gross and 3.80% AER / gross, depending on the term you choose
-
Reinvest your savings. Before the end of the term, we'll write to you to ask you if you want to withdraw your money, start a new Fixed Rate Saver or discuss your options
-
Interest paid directly into your account. We’ll pay your interest into the HSBC account you used to pay your initial deposit
-
Know exactly what you'll get. Your interest rate remains fixed throughout the term, so you’ll know in advance exactly how much interest you'll earn
-
Close early if you need to. Provided the deposit is under £50,000, you can close the account early for a fee of 90 days’ interest. Do bear in mind that depending on when the withdrawal is made, you may get back less than you originally invested. If the deposit is £50,000 or over, you can't close your account or withdraw any money until the end of the deposit term
