Your HSBC mortgage rate is coming to an end and that means you have a choice to make. You can accept whatever deal HSBC puts in front of you, or you can use an FCA-regulated broker to compare your options, secure the most competitive rate available, and earn cashback in the process. At Rate Switch Rewards, we handle the entire HSBC product transfer on your behalf at no cost to you.
What Is an HSBC Product Transfer?
A product transfer is when you move from one mortgage deal to another with your existing lender, HSBC, without changing the loan amount or the lender itself. There is no need to reapply for a mortgage, and in most cases the process takes less than 15 minutes. It is one of the most effective ways for existing HSBC customers to reduce their monthly payments when their current fixed or tracker rate expires.
Key Things to Know About HSBC Product Transfers
- You can arrange your HSBC rate switch up to four months before your current deal expires. This gives you plenty of time to compare options and lock in a competitive rate before your current deal ends.
- There are no legal fees, no valuation fees, and no arrangement costs you have to pay upfront, though some rate products carry optional product fees which can be added to the mortgage balance.
- HSBC offers a range of fixed-rate and tracker products for existing customers, covering residential and buy-to-let mortgages.
- HSBC does not require a new credit check for a standard product transfer. The switch is based on your existing account status, which means past credit issues will not prevent you from securing a new rate.
- HSBC is one of the world’s largest banks and offers a comprehensive range of mortgage products in the UK. Their product transfer process is fully digital and typically completed in a single session, with instant offers available for most straightforward cases.

How Long Does an HSBC Product Transfer Take?
In most cases, a straightforward HSBC product transfer can be completed the same day. Once we access your account details, we identify the available product options, email them to you for review, and submit the application once you have chosen your preferred rate. A mortgage offer is typically issued immediately.
If your transfer involves additional borrowing, a change to your mortgage term, or a switch to interest-only repayment, extra checks may be needed. We will let you know at the outset whether any of those factors apply to your case.
Can I Borrow Extra Money with an HSBC Product Transfer?
Yes — HSBC allows existing mortgage customers to apply for additional borrowing, subject to affordability and LTV criteria. In most cases this can be processed at the same time as your product transfer, so you only have to go through the process once.
Why Switch Through Rate Switch Rewards Rather Than Direct?
Many borrowers go directly to their lender when their rate expires. The problem is that HSBC has no obligation to offer you the most competitive deal available. As a whole-of-market broker, we compare HSBC’s product transfer rates against every available option. If staying with HSBC is your best move, we will confirm that with the numbers to back it up.
There is another risk in going direct. If you accept a rate today and rates fall before your new deal starts, you could end up paying more than necessary. We monitor rates on your behalf and will cancel and replace your accepted rate with a lower one if one becomes available before completion. That is something you simply cannot get by dealing with HSBC directly.

- Receive your quotes: We will email you a clear comparison of the rates HSBC is offering, alongside any better deals available on the wider market, so you can make a genuinely informed decision.
- Choose your rate: Once you have decided which product suits you best, simply let us know and we will submit the application on your behalf.
- We monitor your rate: After acceptance, we watch the market. If a lower rate becomes available before your new deal starts, we cancel the existing acceptance and secure the better rate for you.
- Cashback paid to you: Once your new HSBC mortgage completes and we receive our adviser fee from the lender, we pay your cashback directly into your bank account.
HSBC Product Transfer: Frequently Asked Questions
Does an HSBC product transfer require a credit check?
No. A standard HSBC product transfer does not require a new credit check or income verification. The switch is based on your existing account status with HSBC, which means the process is much faster than remortgaging with a new lender.
How early can I apply for an HSBC product transfer?
You can secure an HSBC product transfer up to four months before your current deal expires. The new rate will start automatically when your existing deal ends, so there is no gap in your mortgage terms.
Can I change my mortgage term during an HSBC product transfer?
Yes, you can adjust your mortgage term during an HSBC product transfer, though this may require additional underwriting and could take slightly longer than a straightforward rate switch.
Is there a fee for an HSBC product transfer?
HSBC offers both fee-free and fee-paying product transfer options. Fee-paying products typically carry a £999 arrangement fee but come with a lower interest rate. We calculate exactly which option saves you the most over the full term.
Can I switch to interest-only with an HSBC product transfer?
Yes, but switching to interest-only during an HSBC product transfer requires additional checks and may take longer to process. We can advise whether this is the right move for your circumstances.
