Overdraft

Providing additional flexibility with access to emergency funds

HSBC Overdraft

Be prepared for unplanned expenses with an overdraft facility from HSBC. An overdraft is an advance of an amount up to an agreed limit.

 

With an overdraft facility, you have the flexibility to have access to emergency funds in difficult times, you pay lower interest rate compared to unauthorised overdraft where a penalty is charged and interest is charged only on the utilised portion of the overdraft facility.

 

Keeping within your limit is a cost-effective way to manage your account and access additional funds in unplanned situations

Benefits and features

What you can expect from an HSBC Overdraft:

  • Low interest rates
    Rates are fluctuating, and linked to the Bank’s Base Lending Rate (BLR).  The interest is calculated on a daily basis, and only on the uitilised portion of the overdraft amount.
  • Renewable facility
    The overdraft limit is usually granted for a year and is renewable thereafter free of charge. You can talk to an HSBC representative on the prevailing rates at time of application.
