Our Expert Opinion on HSBC Premier Savings

Jan WatermannCo-Founder, DepositScout

This account is really only for existing HSBC Premier customers who want to keep everything under one roof, as the eligibility requirement alone rules out most savers. The headline rate of 1.10% sits 3.90% behind the easy access market leader at 5.00%, and at 2.00% below CPI inflation of 3.1% your money is losing real value. Even the top tier of 1.65% for balances over £100,000 does little to close that gap. If you want genuine easy access returns, Tandem Bank's Instant Access Saver at 3.40% is worth a look instead.
