HSBC Has a New Bonus of up to $750 for Checking Accounts
HSBC has two separate checking account bonuses that can earn you $350 or $750. We’ve seen this bonus in the past, but it has been extended once again and it’s a bit easier to get that $750.

Monthly Fees
Here’s the fees for each account:

- $10,000 in combined personal deposit and investment balances
- A monthly maintenance fee of $25 will be incurred if minimum balance or recurring direct deposit requirement is not met.

- Recurring direct deposits totaling at least $5,000

Key Terms
- Must be at least 18 years of age, have a Social Security Number, currently have a U.S. residential address and have had U.S. residency for the past three years to apply for a deposit account online.
- Customers who held an HSBC consumer deposit or investment account from June 2, 2016 through and including June 2, 2019 are not eligible for this offer.
- Customers who maintain(ed) a HSBC Mortgage and/or Credit Card without a consumer deposit or investment account are eligible.
Conclusion
The $750 is easier this time around. It doesn’t require huge amounts to be deposited or keep the account fee free. You still need to complete $5K in direct deposits monthly for 3 months to get the bonus and continue to do it to waive the $50 monthly fee. That’s still not the easiest requirements, but it’s better than having to deposit $100K.
