4 You can opt into our automatic renewal option when purchasing your GIC. If you don't notify us before maturity, we will automatically re-invest your deposit (either the principal only or principal and any interest earned) at the interest rate applicable on the date of renewal, to help maximize the growth of your savings. Consult your HSBC branch regarding any eligibility and/or restrictions with setting up an automatic renewal option on your GIC.
We may make changes to the Agreement governing Term deposits (TD)/Guaranteed Investment Certificates (GIC) from time to time, to reflect changes or requirements of the law, new features, and/or changes in business practice. If we do, before the changes take effect we will tell you where the current terms and conditions can be found on our website.
