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.
- 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. In case of any disputes, the Bank’s records shall be final and conclusive.
- In the case of any funds transfer made after 9pm on Mondays to Fridays or 6pm on Saturdays, and cheques 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.

calculation (for reference only)
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
Remark: The illustration above is taking GBP as an example. The same calculation applies to other currencies.

Rate” and “Prevailing Savings Rate”.
- “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.
- “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.

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”.
- The bonus interest will be credited into the eligible HKD Savings/HKD Current Account of each Eligible Customer on or before 31 August 2025. Each Eligible Customer must continue to maintain valid Eligible Deposit Account(s) of the same currency and HKD Savings/HKD Current Account, and without terminating or downgrading the account, or he/she will be deemed to have forfeited the right to receive the relevant bonus interest.

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.
