Our calculator lets you pick how much you want to borrow, and your loan term, to estimate how much you would pay back each month and overall. We base our calculations on HSBC’s representative APR, but it’s important to note that credit is subject to status and your circumstances may affect the rate you’re offered.

We also assume that you don’t take any repayment holidays, and you don’t repay the loan early (both of which are facilities offered with HSBC loans).

Am I eligible for an HSBC loan?

You should only apply if you’re certain you can meet the repayment terms, and you meet the following HSBC personal loan requirements:

• You must be aged over 18.
• Have an annual income of at least £10,000 (this can include pension income).
• Be a UK resident.
• Have a UK based bank or building society account that can pay direct debits.

HSBC states that these loans should not be used for funding or part funding a property, gambling, business purposes or share dealing.

HSBC Premier Customer Personal Loans are only available to HSBC Premier customers. To become eligible for an HSBC Premier Bank Account, you’ll need to have your salary paid into your HSBC account and either have savings or investments of at least £50,000 with HSBC in the UK, or you’ll need an individual annual income of at least £75,000 and a mortgage, investment, life insurance or protection product with HSBC in the UK.

If you do have an HSBC Premier account, you can apply online, on the phone or in person.

Things to keep in mind

• Rates may vary. HSBC personal loans are unsecured – meaning they’re based on your creditworthiness, rather than the value of any property or other assets you use as collateral. While HSBC’s rates are normally competitive, the advertised representative APR may not be the rate you’ll receive, and HSBC will offer you a rate based on its assessment of your personal financial circumstances.
• Repayment holidays. You have the option of taking a repayment holiday for the first three months of your loan term, or every January for the life of the loan. However, this will cost you more overall, because your outstanding balance will still be accruing interest during these periods.
• Quick turnaround. HSBC account holders may get approved for a loan immediately, and other customers should be contacted with a credit decision within five working days. Successful applicants will generally get their funds within three working days, but existing HSBC customers may receive their money instantly.
• Cashback option. HSBC Advance customers may be eligible to receive cashback at the end of the loan term.

How does a HSBC personal loan work?

If you want to apply for a HSBC personal loan, you can do so by following these steps:

1. Get a personalised quote.
Use HSBC’s “Personalised Loan Quote tool” to get an indication as to whether your application would be successful. This involves a “soft” search of your credit file, which doesn’t affect your credit score. You’ll need to provide three years of address history, as well as your current income and employment details in order for HSBC to run the check.

2. Apply.
If you’re happy with the quote, you can then click “Apply now”. You’ll also need to provide the sort code and account number of your bank or building society account.

3. Get a decision.
Once your application has been received, you’ll generally need to wait up to five working days for a decision. For existing HSBC account holders, you may get an instant decision on your loan application.

Frequently asked questions

• Who is HSBC?

  One of the “big four” banks alongside Barclays, Lloyds and RBS, HSBC began life as the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation. In the early nineties, it acquired the Midland Bank and moved its headquarters to London, and now has a substantial presence in the UK market.

• Can I top up my existing HSBC loan?

  Yes, though this will require you to either consolidate your existing loan into a new loan, or take out a separate loan if you wish to keep the payments separate. You can apply to borrow more money online, by telephone or in branch.

• Do HSBC personal loans offer a payment break?

  You can take a repayment holiday for the first three months or every January for the life of the loan. You need to request this when you apply for the loan.

• Can I pay back the loan early?

  Yes, and you could potentially save on interest by doing so. Let HSBC know you’d like to pay off the loan early in writing or by phone. If you repay part of your loan early, your monthly repayment amount will stay the same but you can potentially repay the loan more quickly. Bear in mind that if you request to pay off your loan early, you may still be charged interest beyond this point – you’ll be given a final settlement figure and a timeframe in which to pay this amount.

  It’s important to check the early repayment terms before applying for any personal loan. If there’s a likelihood that you’ll be able to clear a loan early, then good early-repayment terms should be an important factor in deciding which lender to use.

• How long does it take to get a loan from HSBC?

  If your loan is being paid into your HSBC account, you can expect to receive your funds instantly once your application is approved. If your loan is being paid into a non-HSBC account, however, then you should get your money in 3 working days once the signed agreement has been received.

• What if I change my mind?

  If you change your mind about your loan, then you are able to withdraw within 14 days of signing off on it. The loan must be repaid within 30 days of notifying HSBC of your withdrawal.
