▲ The four major banks took turns to increase deposit interest rates. HSBC increased its short-term interest rates today. One-week Hong Kong dollar time deposits increased to 13%, and one-month interest rates increased to 9%, both of which are the highest in the city.
In the middle of this month (October 13), HSBC suddenly increased the annual interest rate for three-month Hong Kong dollar time deposits to a maximum of 4.5%, which influenced other note-issuing banks and even small and medium-sized banks to follow suit, causing the three-month deposit period to rise above 5%. HSBC made another move today (October 25), this time targeting ultra-short-term funds. The one-week deposit period was increased to a maximum of 13%, which is the highest in the city. General customers also have 12.8%. However, the offer only applies to exchange funds.
The high-interest Hong Kong dollar time deposits of the four major banks listed below all require new funds, and the deposit period of 1 week or 1 month requires exchange funds:

As can be seen from the table above, HSBC Jade or Premier customers have an advantage of 0.2%, with a maximum of 13% in one week and 9% in one month, while HSBC One or other customers have an advantage of 12.8% and 8.8% respectively.
The same is true for longer deposit periods, with the highest 6-month annual interest rate for Jade or Premier customers being 4.5%, and 4.3% for HSBC One or other customers. As for the three-month deposit period, HSBC also has a maximum of 4.5%, and if it is a general customer, it is 4.3%.
After Standard Chartered Bank and Bank of China Hong Kong raised interest rates, they had higher interest rates than HSBC in terms of low thresholds because their 4.5% rate was applicable to new funds from general personal banking customers, which was higher than HSBC One’s low threshold rate of 4.3%.
The same applies to Hang Seng Bank’s 6-month deposit period. Both 6-month and 3-month deposit terms are 4.5%, which is also applicable to general comprehensive customers. Hang Seng also offers a 4-month deposit period, which is unique among major banks, and the annual interest rate is also 4.5%.
HSBC also increased its external deposits, and the pound’s short-term interest rate reached an astonishing 17.5%. See details.【Next page】。

The highest among the low thresholds of 4.5% in 6 months
Comprehensive analysis of many banks, the current maximum six-month Hong Kong dollar time deposit is 4.8%, but the minimum deposit threshold is higher than that of HSBC, Bank of China and Hang Seng. For example, NCB’s 4.8% requires NT$1 million in new funds, Fubon Bank and Public Bank’s 4.8% requires a new capital of 500,000 yuan, and East Asia’s 4.7% requires a minimum deposit of 2 million yuan.
With a minimum deposit threshold of NT$10,000, the 4.5% interest rate offered by HSBC, Standard Chartered, Bank of China and Hang Seng is the highest.
USD short plus long minus 13% for 1 week
In terms of US dollars, HSBC has also greatly increased short-term deposit interest rates, which is consistent with Hong Kong dollars. The annual interest rates for one week and one month have been increased to 13% and 9%, the highest in the city, which are also required for exchange funds.
In terms of longer deposit terms, HSBC, Bank of China and Standard Chartered all have 5% for 6-month and 3-month deposit terms.
The 6-month deposit period is higher with Hang Seng. The bank’s 3-month, 4-month and 6-month deposit terms are all 5.2%.
Standard Chartered ranks first in long-term interest rates, with the 12-month deposit period increasing to 4.2%, which is higher than HSBC and BOC Hong Kong’s 4%.
