HSBC Advance: "Waive" goodbye to monthly banking fees

VANCOUVER, Sept. 11, 2018 /CNW/ - HSBC Advance is a smart collection of flexible banking services which includes a chequing account with a unique new feature:  The $25 monthly fee¹ is waived when customers have combined personal deposits and investments totaling $5,000 or more² with HSBC.  This fresh take on a monthly chequing account fee waiver includes personal savings, chequing, deposit, RSP, mutual fund, TFSAs and HSBC InvestDirect accounts in the customer's minimum balance calculations.  The monthly fee is also waived for customers who hold a personal mortgage with an original amount of $150,000 or more with HSBC.

Barry Gollom, Senior Vice President Products and Client Experience of Retail Banking and Wealth Management at HSBC Bank Canada, said: "We are taking premium 'all-in-one' banking to a whole new level.  While most banks' require customers to maintain a minimum balance in their chequing account to qualify for waived monthly banking fees, HSBC Advance offers greater flexibility by allowing our customers to bundle their personal deposits and investments." 

HSBC Advance includes:

• Unlimited day-to-day Advance chequing account transactions  including, free withdrawals and deposits at HSBC branches, free Interac e-transfers, mobile cheque deposit and Apple Pay
  
  
• Complimentary, no-annual fee MasterCard with $150 spend bonus
  
  
• Free ATM withdrawals from your Advance chequing account at any HSBC or EXCHANGE® Network ATMs (over 3,300 locations across Canada)
  
  
• 5 rebates/month of ATM convenience fees when using a non-HSBC Canada or non- Exchange Network ATMs ($2.00 maximum per transaction)
  
  
• Automatically qualify for $6.88 commissions for North American equity trades with HSBC InvestDirect³
  
  
• Convenient online money transfer between your personal HSBC accounts in over 30 countries⁴
  
  
• $0 transfer fees on foreign exchange wires: HSBC Advance customers can send up to $10,000 via foreign exchange wire with no HSBC transfer fees.⁵

"With this innovative approach to chequing account fees HSBC Advance customers can now save hundreds of dollars each year on monthly banking fees while also saving and investing for the future. This is another example of how we are working to keep our customers at the centre of everything we do," added Mr. Gollom.
