Have an HSBC current account? You can actually get your credit decision instantly. You can also get your funds within the same day, upon signing the loan agreement. We know, it sounds too good to be true. But no, your ears do not deceive you.

As for loan limits, basic Personal Loans allow up to £25,000. Top-Up Loans, or additional loans for existing HSBC borrowers, carry the same limit. HSBC Premier Account Customers, however, can apply for Premier Personal Loans up to £50,000.

There is also the Debt Consolidation Loan for borrowers with multiple loans. You can combine all of your outstanding loans up to a limit of £25,000. HSBC Premier Account Customers can also borrow up to £50,000 here.


How to apply for a HSBC personal loan?

You’ve finally decided on the loan you want, as well as the terms. But are you qualified? You would be if you:

  • Are aged 18 and above
  • Are a UK resident
  • Earn annual pre-tax income or pensions of £10,000 or more
  • Own a direct-debit bank or building society account

If you meet all of these requirements, you can move on with the next step. Current HSBC customers only need to log on to the website and apply there. Applying through the HSBC mobile app is another option.

HSBC FAQs

Where can I apply for a HSBC loan?

The HSBC website (accessible from the table above) makes it easy for borrowers to apply, as does the mobile app. However, you can also contact HSBC at 0800 032 4735 as a first step.
You can also travel to your nearest HSBC branch and ask about their personal loans.

How do the HSBC Personal Loan types differ from one another?

All the loan types differ only in two ways: the maximum loan limit and the APR, under certain conditions.
An example of the second point is the APR for Premier Personal Loans. This can stay at 3.3% up to £30,000.

What are variable and fixed APR’s?

A variable APR changes every year based on changes in the market interest rate. You’ll benefit from interest savings on your repayments if the market interest rate is low. But your interest cost will also rise when the market interest rate is high.
A fixed APR does not change at all over the life of the loan. You can maintain the same repayments even when the market interest rate is high. But you’ll lose out on interest savings when the market interest rate is low.

How do I know what the APR will be for my loan?

You can get a rough estimate of your APR based on your loan amount. The lowest APR of 3.3% applies to loan amounts between £7,000 to 15,000. (This rate can stay up to £30,000 for Premier Personal Loans.) Meanwhile, the highest APR of 21.9% applies to loan amounts of £1,000 and below.
HSBC may determine the final APR, however, based on other standards. These can include your credit score, and the state of your personal finances.
Have an existing HSBC Personal Loan and looking to top up? Expect the APR of Top-Up Loans to be higher than that of your existing loan.
