How it works
You choose a deposit term for your Fixed Rate Saver. Available terms are:
- 1, 2 or 3 years
You can deposit anything from £2,000 to £1,000,000. The money is locked away in the savings account for the whole of the term.
The interest rate depends on the amount you deposit and the length of the term. As the rate is fixed in advance, you know exactly how much interest you will earn by the end of the term.
The interest is paid directly into your HSBC current or savings account - the same one you used to pay in your initial deposit.
