How to apply

Eligibility

If you are not already an HSBC customer, or are looking to open a term deposit of longer than one year, you will need to visit your local branch in order to apply for a term deposit. Existing customers with internet banking and who plan on opening an account with terms between 1 and 12 months can get started on applying by visiting HSBC website. Before heading out to a branch or starting an online application, you should note the following eligibility criteria for this account:

  • Minimum age. While HSBC lists no minimum age requirement for their term deposit, applicants under the age of 18 should ask at their local branch before starting to apply.
  • Residency requirements. An applicant will need to show that they have a valid residential address in Australia at the time of application.
