Moody's changes HSBC UK Bank's outlook to Positive from Stable

7 November 2026 · Moody's · HSBC UK Bank plc

What this means

Moody's has left HSBC UK Bank's rating at A1 but changed its outlook to Positive. An outlook signals the likely direction of the rating over the next one to two years rather than a change today; a negative outlook precedes roughly a third of downgrades, and a positive one similarly foreshadows upgrades.

As read from HSBC UK Bank's disclosure: "Moody’s Long Term / Senior A1"

Deposit protection is unaffected by rating changes: eligible deposits remain covered by the FSCS up to £120,000 per person per banking licence. See HSBC UK Bank's full rating page for the blended rating, history and FAQ, and all rating changes.
