Financial advice

Our financial advice could help you plan for the future you want.

If you're looking for financial advice we can help

Our financial advice could help you plan ahead by thinking about your finances now, to shape the future you're looking for.

We can make personalised recommendations on many aspects of your financial life, such as protecting your family to planning for your retirement.

Plus, we've got a range of investment options that could make it easier to achieve your goals.

How it works

Our usual financial advice process follows these 3 steps:

1. An initial conversation

We’ll just ask you a few questions about your current situation to find out whether our financial advice can help.

 

We’ll outline the process and answer any of your questions. There's no charge for this – it's another benefit of banking with us.

2. Your planning review

Next, you’ll meet one of our financial advisers for a more detailed discussion. This can be face-to-face in a branch, or via a video call at a time that suits you.

 

At your planning review you'll discuss:

  • All aspects of your finances, to better understand your needs and goals
  • How you feel about investment risk
  • The total costs involved for the financial advice

There aren't any fees for this meeting or obligations to proceed, but if you're happy to continue your adviser will create your bespoke financial planning report.

3. Your personalised plan

Your adviser will arrange another meeting with you to talk through you personalised plan.

 

They'll cover:

  • The range of recommended products hand-picked from selected providers, including HSBC
  • Any questions you might have about our products
  • How to see your arrangements online
  • Any charges that apply

Then, the choice is up to you.
