HSBC Life Decreasing Term Assurance

The individual mortgage-reducing term, withdrawn January 2021. No longer on HSBC Life’s current term-life page — existing policies continue on their original contract terms.

HSBC Life Decreasing Term Assurance was the individual mortgage-reducing term plan (death + TPD, no cash value) — withdrawn from sale in January 2021, per third-party documentation.

Since then HSBC has had no individual decreasing-term product: the current mortgage offering is the Group Mortgage Protector, a yearly-renewable group policy tied to HSBC home loans (up to 4 joint lives, to age 70) — a different animal from an individual MRTA that survives refinancing to another bank.

What’s publicly known

Feature
Individual reducing term: death + TPD on a declining sum assured, no cash value
Feature
Successor gap: the Group Mortgage Protector only covers HSBC-loan borrowers as a group policy — refinance away from HSBC and the cover does not follow

What isn’t published

  • Exact launch year, reduction-rate options and premium structure — unspecified publicly
  • Formal withdrawal notice (January 2021 per third-party source)

Still holding a HSBC Life Decreasing Term Assurance policy?

An adviser can help you:

  • Read your original policy contract and confirm exactly what it still covers
  • Compare keeping it against replacing it — legacy plans are sometimes worth keeping
  • Check whether current HSBC Life plans fill any gaps it leaves
