How it works

With the Loyalty Cash ISA, we reward you for your loyalty as long as you pay at least £1 into your ISA each year. This exclusive variable loyalty rate applies for 12 months from the date of each payment.

If you make further payments into your ISA, your loyalty rate period will begin again from the date of each payment. Upon the expiry of your Loyalty rate period, you will earn a standard rate of interest until you make a further payment.

You can start your ISA savings with any amount from £1. The overall annual ISA subscription limit is subject to change every year (currently £20,000). Within this, the Lifetime ISA has its own annual payment limit (currently £4,000).

Our ISA isn’t a flexible cash ISA, so any money withdrawn will not change how much of your annual ISA subscription limit you have already used. If you have fully subscribed, you will need to wait until the next tax year to subscribe more funds.

A Loyalty rate applies for 12 months from the date of each payment into your ISA. If you make further payments into your ISA, your Loyalty rate period will begin again from the date of each payment. Upon the expiry of your Loyalty rate period, you will earn a standard rate of interest until you make a further payment.

Can HSBC change the interest rate?

Yes. The account pays a variable rate of interest, which means it can change over time. The HSBC Cash ISA Terms and Conditions explain when and how we do this. For example, we might review the interest rate if the Bank of England base rate changes.

What would the estimated balance be after 12 months based on a £1,000 deposit?

£1,000	Other Current Accounts Loyalty rate	2.85% AER (2.81% tax free)	£1,028.50
£1,000	Standard rates for all accounts	2.50% AER (2.47% tax free)	£1,025.00

If you withdraw funds from your ISA you will lose the associated future tax benefits associated with holding that money in an ISA.

Frequently asked questions

Cash ISA age limit

From 6 April 2024, there are changes to how old you need to be to open a cash ISA.

To open a new cash ISA, you need to be either:

18 years old or over, or
Covered by the transitional arrangements for those aged 16 or 17 (as of 5 April 2024), which is in place until 5 April 2026.

ISA providers aren't obliged to offer the transitional arrangements. HSBC won't allow customers under 18 to open a new cash ISA from 6 April 2024, but will consider changing this in the future.

Subscribing to more than one of the same type of ISA

If you're aged 18 or over, you'll now be able to subscribe to more than one of the same type of ISA in the same tax year – subject to staying within the overall annual limit.

For example, you could subscribe to a cash or stocks & shares ISA with one ISA provider and and also subscribe to one with a different provider.

This change doesn’t apply to Lifetime ISAs, where it's still only be possible to subscribe to one Lifetime ISA in a tax year. HSBC doesn't offer Lifetime ISAs.

ISA providers aren't obliged to allow subscriptions to more than one ISA of the same type, in the same tax year, with themselves. This isn't available with HSBC from 6 April 2024.

Other optional changes that not all providers are implementing

If you've gone a whole tax year without making a subscription to an existing ISA, you can now restart subscriptions without needing to complete a new application.

It’s also now possible to make a partial transfer of subscriptions made in the current tax year.

These changes are not available with HSBC from 6 April 2024. We'll update our website if we make any changes to our ISAs in the future.
