HSBC Bank is one of the world’s largest banks and now they’re offering one of the largest bonuses as a welcome deposit.
It’s becoming increasingly popular for banks to offer large bonuses if you open a new checking account, deposit new money, and satisfy a few other conditions. HSBC is getting into the game and the welcome bonus depends a lot on the account you open, the amount you’re able to deposit, and whether or not you can satisfy the other conditions.
If you’re in the mood to learn about some bonuses, I’m in the mood to share them with you!
We will update this page with the latest welcome promotions as they are refreshed.

Definition of Key Terms
There are a few terms and conditions of this offer. First, you must be 18 years of age, have a Social Security number, a U.S. residential address and had U.S. residency for the past three years.
Next, New Money is defined as deposits “not previously held at any member of the HSBC Group in the U.S. You also need to keep those funds in your account and keep that account in good standing until the gift fulfillment. One gift per customer, including all individual and joint accounts (the first line name is what counts on joint accounts).
Finally, there are monthly maintenance fees on all of these accounts. You can avoid them by maintaining certain balances or meeting other conditions:
- HSBC Advance Checking Account: A $25 monthly maintenance fee if you do not maintain a combined U.S. personal deposit and investment balance of $10,000+ or $5,000+ and maintain a recurring direct deposit from a third party at least once per monthly cycle.
- HSBC Premier Checking Account: A $50 monthly maintenance fee if you do not maintain a combined U.S. personal deposit and investment balance of $75,000+.
The terms are pretty straightforward, nothing stands out as being particularly onerous.
How Does This Compare?
HSBC Bank offers some of the richest bank promotions and the monthly balance requirements are in line with similar offers. The highest bonus, $600, is on their Premier Checking product which requires a very high balance – a tall order but it comes with one of the biggest bonuses I’ve seen.

Citi Priority is offering $300, $700, or $1,500 bonus when you open an account by 7/17/2022. Then, within 20 days of opening your account, deposit at least $15,000 in New-to-Citi funds and keep it there for 60 days after the 21st day. The bonus amount is based on how much you can transfer but the lowest tier starts at $15,000.

They used to have an affiliate program on CJ that paid pretty good. It was under the Beneficial bank brand.
