If you are beginning to feel the financial pressure due to the rising cost of living and soaring energy bills this winter, a quick way to boost your income is to get paid for switching your bank account. But you will need to act fast to get the biggest deal on the current market as it ends on December 22.
Last month, HSBC UK launched a £200 current account switching offer for eligible customers looking to switch to an HSBC Advance or Premier Bank Account, using the Current Account Switch Service (Cass). The Cass service ensures payments and all money coming in and going out is protected from any digital mishaps.
In general, anyone keen to earn some free money will need to weigh up any perks that come with accounts as well as any fees and charges, to work out whether switching is a good option for them in the longer term.
