You should tell us what you want to do with your term deposit at least 2 business 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. In the event you would like to withdraw your funds prior to maturity, you will need to provide 31 days' notice. If you withdraw the funds before the end of the fixed term, the interest you receive for that deposit will only be 50% of the interest that you are entitled to, up to the date you are making the withdrawal. 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.
