HSBC is launching the HSBC Everyday+ Rewards programme, and part of the reward is watching your savings account grow daily. It's the gift that keeps giving, by ensuring you save and spend smartly. 

With the HSBC Everyday+ Rewards programme, customers with a HSBC Everyday Global Account (EGA) will be able to earn a 1% bonus interest from their savings on the monthly incremental account balance.

This is on top of the 1% cashback on transactions made with any HSBC credit card, plus the usual credit card rewards. Transactions include GIRO bill payments and HSBC Everyday Global debit card transactions.  

Here’s how it works.

What is HSBC Everyday+ Rewards?

Among other things, it's worth noting is that HSBC is one of the first banks to reward cashback on GIRO bill payment.

HSBC customers need to make at least five transactions (of any amount) on their credit card in a given calendar month, and deposit S$2,000 (or S$5,000 if they’re a HSBC Premier or Jade member) of fresh funds into their EGA. 

This triggers a qualifying period, during which they earn 1% cashback on all credit card transactions. The qualifying period is defined as the day after the qualifying requirements are met up till the end of the following calendar month.

While you need to make a deposit, there’s no need to maintain the balance. In other words, once the S$2,000 (or S$5,000) has been deposited, you can subsequently spend it or transfer it back out to a different bank account with higher interest rates.  There is a S$5 monthly fall below fee if your average daily balance is below S$2,000).

With the bonus interest, this increases the maximum cashback customers can earn is capped at S$600 (or S$800 if they’re a HSBC Premier or Jade member) each month, which is plenty.

At a 1% cashback rate, you’d only max out the cap if you spent at least S$30,000 per month on your credit card - a high threshold indeed!

Cashback will be credited to your EGA as early as two business days from the transaction posting date, and no longer than 14 business days. 

Do all transactions qualify for 1% cashback?

All transactions eligible for regular credit card rewards will also qualify for 1% cashback. HSBC does have a rewards exclusion list which can be viewed here. The main exclusions to take note of are:

• Donations to charity
