Apply here : us.hsbc.com/refer
Visit us.hsbc.com/refer to apply for the new account. You'll need to input the referral code and the referrer's full name when prompted. Email me for my full name and referral code, my email can be found at the top of this page.
Requirements:
(1) meet Qualifying Balance (listed below) in New Money in deposit and/or eligible investment accounts within 30 calendar days of account opening; and
The New Account bonus is $1,500 for a New Account with Qualifying Balances of $100,000.00–$249,999.99 in deposit and/or eligible investment accounts OR $2,500 for a New Account with Qualifying Balances of $250,000 or more in deposit and/or eligible investment accounts.
(2) maintain the Qualifying Balance for 3 full calendar months after account opening.
Editor's notes:
Please send me an email (my email can be found at the top of the page) and let me know if you would like to use my referral, so that I can email you my full name (the application asks for the referrer's full name aside from the referral code) and make sure to keep my account open till after you get your bonus.
Checking, savings, self-directed brokerage, CDs are all qualified accounts to hold the new money for the maintenance period.
Open checking first through the referral link, then apply for savings and/or brokerage accounts. After checking is funded, you can also buy online CDs of 6, 12, or 24 months.
The relationship savings rate for the savings account can be 3.75% (as of 02/01/2025) but only if a $5,000 direct deposit or $500 debit spend is settled in the PREVIOUS month. HSBC seems to be running a savings promotion right now, for new savings account holders they are offering the relationship rate for the account opening month and the first three months even if the direct deposit or debit requirements are not met, but if you want to take advantage of that I recommend confirm with customer service that the savings rate promotion is automatically applied.
Self-directed brokerage can buy us stocks, ETFs and mutual funds for $10.99 per online trade. You can buy fixed income like bonds or t-bills if you call in with a cusip number and they can place the trade for you for $35/order. If you do not buy any of these, the fund will sit in a default government money market fund HGDXX (HSBC INVESTOR US GOVT CLASS A) which current 7-day yield is around 4.03% (as of 02/01/2025).
The fund can move between these accounts in the maintenance period as long as the combined balance does not drop. The maintenance period is 3 full calendar months following the month when you opened the account.
In my opinion, opening a checking and a brokerage account and having the fund sitting in the default government money market fund (core position) for 3 months is superior to having the money in the savings or CDs.
After the maintenance period if your balance drop below $75k or $100k (if your account is opened after August 29), there is a $50/mo account fee unless you have a $5,000 direct deposit into the account per month.
Make sure to keep some balance in the premier checking even if you decide to use savings, brokerage or CDs to satisfy the combined balance requirement. Some people reported their checking was closed due to zero balance thus they didn’t receive the bonus although the combined balance requirement was met.
It appears HSBC is very lenient on what works as direct deposit. Most ACHs work. If you’d like to use direct deposit to keep the account free from fees after getting the bonus, it is better to test it while in the maintenance period when the fee is not accessed anyway. Test a $5,000 direct deposit and watch whether you get 3.75% interest rate for the relationship savings in the next month, if the rate is 3.75%, then the direct deposit worked.

Commerce Bank, Up to $1000 or $700 bonus + Possible $50 referral bonus
Commerce Bank is currently running a couple of targeted or geographically restricted promotions. If you qualify, these are some of the best checking account offers available right now. Here are the links to both offers:
💰 Up to $1,000 Bonus for Residents of Denver, Arapahoe, or Jefferson Counties in Colorado (Promo Code: Denver0725)
https://www.commercebank.com/personal/2025/denverbonus
💰 Up to $700 Bonus (Promo Code: Jul25NewBonus)
https://www.commercebank.com/personal/2025/checkingbonus
In addition, Commerce Bank has a referral program through ReferLive, where both the referrer and the referee receive a $50 Visa Reward Card. I haven’t seen any confirmed data points (DPs) showing whether the referral bonus stacks with the Denver0725 or Jul25NewBonus promotions. However, based on past experience, ReferLive bonuses often track separately and can stack, even if the fine print says otherwise.
If you're planning to try stacking, be sure to register with ReferLive before opening the checking account using one of the promo codes.
👉 Register for the referral offer here:
https://io.referlive.com/miDcq5
To earn the $150 Visa® Reward Card:
