Closing hsbc account while still having loan with them?

Hi, I am thinking of closing my hsbc business account and going with starling bank to save the fees but will I be able to do so as I have a business loan with hsbc? Thanks

Presumably the paperwork for your loan specifies the terms and conditions and whether it stands alone or is dependant on having a current account. Have you asked HSBC?


If they are linked maybe you could get a similar loan from your new bank to pay off the loan and close the current account.


If there is no option of closing it could you save some of fees if you left the HSBC account open with a minimal balance and stopped using it for everyday transactions which would go through through the new account?
