Terms & Conditions 

You should tell us what you want to do with your term deposit at least 2 days before its maturity date. If you do not, we will renew the deposit for the same term at the applicable interest rate on the date of maturity. If the term deposit automatically renews, you may receive a lower interest rate on the new term deposit than the original interest rate earned. Please refer to our standard interest rates.

  1. If you withdraw money before the end of the fixed term, the interest you receive for that deposit will only be 50% of the interest that you’re entitled to up to the date you’re making the withdrawal, and an administration fee will apply.
  2. Any special offer applies for a single term only. Different rates may apply for subsequent terms. This special offer is not available in conjunction with any other bonus interest or special rates offered on HSBC Term Deposits.
