HSBC Bank is one of the world’s largest banks and now they’re offering one of the largest bonuses as a welcome deposit.

It’s becoming increasingly popular for banks to offer large bonuses if you open a new checking account, deposit new money, and satisfy a few other conditions. HSBC is getting into the game and the welcome bonus depends a lot on the account you open, the amount you’re able to deposit, and whether or not you can satisfy the other conditions.

If you’re in the mood to learn about some bonuses, I’m in the mood to share them with you!

We will update this page with the latest welcome promotions as they are refreshed.

The terms are pretty straightforward, nothing stands out as being particularly onerous.
