How to calculate Eligible Incremental Balance and enjoy the offer?

1. What is Eligible Incremental Balance?

“Eligible Incremental Balance” is the increment of the daily average balance from April to June 2025, per currency, of Eligible Deposit Account(s) as compared with the period end balance on 31 March 2025 of the corresponding currency.

  • “Eligible Deposit Account(s)” refer to the Savings Account(s) in AUD and/or CAD and/or NZD and/or GBP maintained with the Bank in customer’s sole name or in the capacity as the primary account holder in the case of a joint account. For the avoidance of doubt, Time Deposit accounts are excluded from the Eligible Deposit Accounts.
  • In respect of the “period end balance on 31 March 2025”, if the customer got a negative Eligible Deposit Account balance or did not hold any Hong Kong Dollars/Foreign Currency savings, current, time deposit accounts or any Integrated Accounts (“Designated Bank Account”) with the Bank on 31 March 2025, it will be treated as zero in the Eligible Incremental Balance calculation.
  • In respect of the “daily average balance of April to June 2025”, if the customer did not hold any Designated Bank Account on 31 March 2025 and opens a new personal integrated account during the promotion period, the daily average balance from the account opening date to June 2025 will be used instead.
  • Remark: In the case of any fund transfer instruction received/ cheque deposited after the cut-off time of the Bank, the deposit balance will be updated on the next working day. All the related account deposit balances shall be based on the records of the Bank.

2. Illustration example of calculating Eligible Incremental Balance and offer

Assuming that a customer has the following GBP deposit balances and transactions during April to June 2025:

GBP Deposit Balances and Transactions GBP
Deposit balance as of 31 Mar: 10,000
Deposit balance from 1 - 15 Apr (15 days): 10,000
Fund in on 16 Apr: +50,000
Deposit balance from 16 Apr - 30 May (45 days): 60,000
Fund out on 31 May: -10,000
Deposit balance from 31 May - 30 Jun (31 days): 50,000
Daily average balance of Apr to Jun (Refer to below image for calculation details): 48,351
Eligible Incremental Balance (Cap being GBP30,000):
= Deposit daily average balance of Apr to Jun - Deposit balance as of 31 Mar
= GBP48,351 - GBP10,000
= GBP38,351 (Note: The amount in which this offer can be enjoyed is GBP30,000, as it is subject to a cap which is GBP30,000)
30,000
Bonus Interest (Take PayDay+ Payroll Account Customer as an example)
= (Eligible Incremental Balance x Bonus Savings Rate) x (No. of days in the counting period / 365 days)
= (GBP20,000 x 2.999% + GBP10,000 x 4.999%) x (91 days / 365 days)
= GBP274 (~HKD2,740)

Remark: The illustration above is taking GBP transactions of a PayDay+ Payroll Account Customer as an example. The same calculation applies to other currencies. The amount of bonus interest is calculated in GBP first, then converted into its HKD equivalent amount based on the exchange rate solely determined by the Bank. The illustration is calculated based on GBP1 = HKD 10, which the exchange rate is intended for indicative purposes only.

Notes:
  1. The Offer is only applicable to personal customers who hold valid personal integrated account(s) (including Prestige Private, Prestige Banking, Preferred Banking and Integrated Account) of Hang Seng Bank Limited (“the Bank”). Only the principal account holder is eligible for the promotion if the relevant account is a joint account (“Eligible Customer(s)”). Up to 5% p.a. Preferential Savings Rate includes “Bonus Savings Rate” and “Prevailing Savings Rate”.
    1. “Bonus Savings Rate” is applicable to the Eligible Incremental Balance up to the cap of AUD/CAD/NZD60,000 or GBP30,000 only. The Eligible Incremental Balance in the excess of the cap is not eligible to the Bonus Savings Rate. The bonus interest will first be calculated in terms of the Eligible Incremental Balance of corresponding currency (AUD/CAD/NZD/GBP), then converted into its HKD equivalent amount for the bonus interest payout based on the exchange rate solely determined by the Bank on 30 June 2025. Besides, the bonus interest is calculated as simple interest on a 365-day basis.
    2. “Prevailing Savings Rate” (as of 1 April 2025) is 0.001% p.a. for AUD/CAD/NZD500 or above and GBP200 or above. All of the rates quoted above are indicative and for reference only, and may change from time to time at the Bank’s sole discretion.
  2. “PayDay+ Payroll customers” refers to personal customers who set up / maintain PayDay+ payroll service with the Bank via sole-named or joint-named HKD Savings/HKD Current Accounts (“Payroll Account”) during the promotion period, and with the HKD salary directly credited to their Payroll Accounts from the employers’ company accounts via Autopay (“Eligible Payroll Record”). Any salary transfer not indicated for payroll purpose may not be considered as an Eligible Payroll Record. If the salary transfer instruction is received on public holiday / after the cut-off time of the Bank, it will be processed on the next working day. The customers must maintain the Eligible Payroll Record in each calendar month from the promotion period to the bonus interest credit day, otherwise, they can only enjoy the bonus savings rate offer of general customers. The Bank reserves the right of final decision should there be any dispute in the definition of “Eligible Payroll Record”.

Foreign Currency Risk
Foreign Exchange involves Exchange Rate Risk. Fluctuations in the exchange rate of a foreign currency may result in gains or loss of principal in the event that the customer converts the deposits from HKD or foreign currency to another currency, and/or in the event that the customer converts a foreign currency time deposit to HKD upon maturity.
