1 The Introductory APR applies only during the first 12 months and is based on the U.S. “Prime” Rate (8.50% as of July 27, 2023) minus 1.51%. Prime may change at any time and is subject to change without notice. If Prime increases or decreases during the Introductory Period, the variable Introductory APR and minimum required payment will correspondingly change.  After the 12 month introductory rate period the APR for any existing balance or future advances will convert to the applicable variable rate APR according to the terms of your Agreement. This APR may also vary monthly based on the U.S. Prime Rate published in the Money Rates table of The Wall Street Journal. No discounts apply to the Introductory APR.

2 Rates, discounts and loan amounts depend on specific program and may require certain personal deposit and investment balances, reserves, equity and automatic payment from an HSBC U.S. Premier checking account. For home equity, the Premier APR includes a relationship auto-pay discount of 0.25% and initial draw discount of 0.25% for making a $25,000 minimum initial draw at closing. Initial Draw discount and HSBC relationship auto-pay discount applies to the interest rate after the introductory period ends.

3 Speak with your financial advisor or a counseling agency about debt consolidation.

4 Consult your tax advisor for details on tax deductibility of interest paid on loans secured by your home.

7 For line amounts of 500,000 or less, HSBC will pay all closing costs. Generally, closing costs are estimated to range from $270 to $19,900, but may be higher depending on the location of your home and the amount of your line of credit. If you terminate your account within the first three years, you will have to pay an early termination fee of $500 (or $750 for properties located in California and Virginia), plus any mortgage tax-like fees paid by HSBC at the time your account was established. No annual or application fees will be assessed.
