Things you should know

An HSBC account comes with a debit card and monthly statements. Please refer to our Schedule of Services and Tariffs for a complete list of services along with any fees and charges associated with them. 

If you are a salaried customer and your salary is transferred to HSBC UAE, you will not be required to maintain a minimum balance or a relationship balance with us for any account that you open with us. If you stop transferring your salary to HSBC UAE, then a fee may be applied as per the Schedule of Services and Tariffs.

If you are a non-salary transfer customer, a lower cost option for you to consider is to have a personal banking proposition, and open a Flexi or E-saver account, as you will not be required to maintain a minimum balance in those accounts. If you choose a different proposition or open a different account type, then a fee may be applied for not maintaining a minimum balance as per the Schedule of Services and Tariffs.

Notes

1All fixed interest rates quoted above are Annual Equivalent Rates. This is a notional rate, which illustrates what the credit interest will be if interest were paid for a full calendar year. For Flexi account interest is calculated on daily closing balance and paid monthly. The interest will accrue for each calendar day in a month.

Interest on UAE Dirhams are calculated on a 360 day basis.

Fixed Interest rates are subject to change from time to time at the sole discretion of the Bank. This change will automatically reflect on your Flexi account. We will notify you of any changes to the Fixed interest rate before they happen in line with the Personal Banking Terms and Conditions.

2If you select charge type 'all charges to be paid from my account' when making transfers of Indian rupee to India, Pakistani rupee to Pakistan, Egyptian pound to Egypt and Philippine peso to the Philippines, the correspondent bank will not deduct any of its charges from the remittance amount and there will be no money transfer fee by HSBC UAE. Schedule of Services and Tariffs (PDF, 1.6MB) will apply and may be amended from time to time.
