In the offer terms it looks like you need to have over $25,000 deposited for the 6.35%. Otherwise you get 5.85%.

At least both the regular and bonus interest are paid monthly (separately).

Fine print: https://www.hsbc.ca/content/dam/hsbc/ca/docs/pdf/hsbc-hrsa-new-deposits-offer-en.pdf

HOW BONUS INTEREST WILL BE PAID
1. Bonus interest is earned on New Deposits of up to CAD 1,000,000 in your HRSA at the annual rate of 4.50% during the promotion Period. Bonus interest is calculated daily on the daily closing balance of New Deposits and is paid monthly.
2. Bonus interest will be earned on New Deposits of up to CAD 1,000,000 in your HRSA, in addition to regular interest. The sum of regular interest and bonus interest will determine the total interest payable during the promotion period on New Deposits.
3. Bonus interest will be shown separately from your regular interest on your statements.

Yes, up to $24,999 it's 5.85%

for the incremental above 24,999, it is 6.35%

(Still sticking to Tang.'s 6% (for now)) Any big 6 and HSBC offer should be examined carefully. They didn't get to be so large by giving away too much.

Sounds like there are TWO tiers

5.85% on first $24,999
6.35% on the excess

HSBC is also offering a competitive 2 year GIC for registered and non registered accounts. Looks like offer started OCT. 14th and appears to be a standard offer. Also a decent 3 year.

2-year term at 5.85% per year*
3-year term at 5.50% per year*

For myself, I don't currently have a HSBC account . I have had my fill of FIs' and willing to take some off the top to stay consolidated with my current basket of FIs

Trader first, Saver second

Previously with HSBC, once you cross the 25K, the entire balance gets the higher rate.

LoL. I had a decent amount of money going through HSBC on Oct 13th. Oh, well… Will have to stick with just 6% at Tangerine.

The rep today confirmed that this is the case (6.35% applies to entire balance once you hit $25,000) but you can’t withdraw and re-deposit. Also despite saying that it is for existing customers, there are lots of exclusions (must be “new funds”).

Do your own due diligence though and get it in writing if you’re taking the offer. Terms aren’t clear to me.

It certainly sounds that way, but their last offer was the max rate over the entire amount and not a two-tier calculation.

So, if I deposit $40,000 new money,

(1) I get 5.85% for $24,999 and 6.35% for $15,001
OR
(2) I get 6.35% for entire $40,000

(1) or (2)?

Looks like 2 tier.

Still, on a 100k deposit the blended rate is ~6.22% and worth the move IMO.

Last time, when over the limit, you get the higher interest rate on the entire balance.

Is this 6.35% offer applicable to small business corporate accounts or individual accounts only?

Do they make it easy to move large sums of money around from one FI to another?

I checked their online customer reviews and couldn't find one positive review, so I decided to pass.

Tangerine links to HSBC and it works normally, but have to get the account numbers formatted correctly.

I have not had any problem moving large amounts to or from HSBC.
