HSBC Everyday Savings
- Maximum variable rate
- 5.15% p.a.
- Base interest rate
- 3%p.a.
Our verdict
Earn a competitive 5.15% p.a. for the first 3 months after opening this savings account.
The bonus rate of 5.15% p.a. is offered for the first 3 months for new account holders. There are no deposit conditions to meet to get this high rate. However, once the intro period is up your money will earn the lower standard variable rate of 3%.
This account could be ideal if you’re looking for a place to park your savings for a few months while earning a high interest rate, particularly if you've got a large balance. You’ll get the bonus rate on balances up to $1,000,000 which is very rare for such a competitive rate.
Once the introductory period is over, you could consider switching your balance to the HSBC Bonus Savings Account. This account pays a slightly lower (but still competitive) bonus rate of 4.25% every month that you grow your balance by $300, and you’re able to make withdrawals whenever you need.

Hi Marius,
Thanks for contacting Finder.
Yes, you may withdraw your funds from the HSBC Serious Saver Account after you have received the 4 months introductory maximum interest rate of 2.35% p.a.
Kindly take note that within the first 4 months, you must not make any withdrawals to receive the maximum interest rate.
I hope this helps.
Cheers,
Ash

If I want to open a Serious Saver Account will I be considered a new customer if I have previously held an HSBC account in UK but not in Australia?

Hi Rose,
Thanks for getting in touch!
As HSBC UK and AU are separate entities, you are considered a new customer. As a friendly reminder, review the eligibility criteria, fees, interest rates, and terms & conditions of the HSBC Serious Saver Account before applying. You may also contact HSBC should you have any questions about their product.
Hope this helps!
Best,
Nikki
