We'll calculate the interest earned on your deposit every day.

For term deposits over two months in duration, you can select to have your interest paid to your nominated account on a monthly, quarterly or six-monthly basis. This gives you access to your investment income during the term. Please note that different interest rates may apply.

Alternatively, you can elect to have your interest paid to your nominated account at the end of your deposit term.

HSBC offers you a range of options at the maturity of your term deposit.

The following are your options:

• Automatically renew your investment principal and interest for another term of the same duration, creating a true ‘set and forget’ investment. This will provide you with the benefit of earning interest on your interest in subsequent investment terms
• Automatically renew your investment principal for another term of the same length with the interest you have earned being paid to your nominated account. Where you select an automatic renewal option, the interest rates applicable on the day of your deposit’s maturity will apply to the subsequent term
• Alternatively, decide to have both your investment principal and interest paid to your nominated account on maturity of your deposit term
