HSBC UK takes the lead as Official Banking Partner for Goodwoof 2025

Goodwoof | Press Article 15/05/25

Goodwoof has today announced that leading international bank HSBC UK is to be the Official Banking Partner for this year’s event – the ultimate dog’s day out – taking place at the Goodwood Estate in West Sussex on Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 May.

Now in its fourth year, Goodwoof celebrates everything we love about our canine companions with a diverse range of activities designed for both dogs and their owners, including agility courses, grooming demonstrations, and talks from leading pet experts.

This year, HSBC UK will spotlight the relaunch of HSBC Premier1—its premium current account offering rewards across wealth, international, travel and health —with a specially designed presence at Goodwoof.

Plans include a dedicated lounge for customers and their canine companions, as well as the ‘The Bark Account’ experience – a light-hearted campaign inviting all guests to share photos of their dogs at the HSBC UK stand on social media for the chance to win exclusive prizes and unlock perks.

Adam Waterworth, Chief Executive Officer of Goodwood, said: “HSBC UK is a very welcome addition to our top tier of Goodwoof partners. Their playful and interactive activation aligns brilliantly with our mission to celebrate wellbeing and connection—not just for dogs, but for their humans too. By showcasing services that support financial confidence and lifestyle goals, HSBC UK brings a fresh dimension to the Goodwoof experience that we’re sure will resonate with our visitors.”

Luke Harper, Head of Partnerships for HSBC UK, said: “We’re delighted to be joining Goodwoof 2025 as Official Banking Partner. It’s a truly unique event that celebrates the joy dogs bring to our lives—something we know resonates with many of our customers.

“From playful moments like ‘The Bark Account’ experience to a dedicated lounge where our customers can ‘paws and relax’, our presence at Goodwoof reflects the premium service HSBC Premier offers our customers. With enhanced benefits across wealth, international services, travel, and health, plus 24/7 support, it’s about delivering meaningful value—with a little tail-wagging fun along the way.”
