HSBC is one of the “big four” banks in the UK and is one of the largest banking organisations in the world. It offers a broad range of savings accounts and ISAs that will fit any budget or saving plan.
HSBC's top savings rate of 5% is available on its regular savings account.
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.
