What is HSBC's best savings account with the highest interest rate?
The best savings account depends on what you want from your savings. If you're after fast access to your money, then an easy-access account should suit you. However, if you're happy to lock your money away for a time to access a higher rate, then a fixed-rate bond is a good option.Finally, if you're looking to maximise your returns and shield them from income tax, consider an ISA. Below, we've listed the different types of accounts HSBC offers, plus the highest interest rate currently available.

How do I decide which account is for me?
First, you will need to decide what you’re looking for in a savings account. You will need to consider how often you are planning to withdraw money and how much money you can afford to save each month.
You need to work out what you need before comparing the different offers available for certain types of savings accounts. Once you’ve done that, it’s useful to look at the following:
- Interest rates
- Fees (if there are any)
- Access to cash (if you need quick access, for instance)
- Rewards and loyalty schemes (if you’re into add-ons or switching bonuses)
