Featured story

Saving is the first step to keeping your promise

“On my way to becoming a professional singer, I was determined to keep a promise I made to my mum – to inspire others with my music. So I scrimped, saved and travelled the world, busking wherever I went and touching the lives of those who heard me. Thanks to HSBC FirstSave, these days it's easier to save, so we can all achieve the goals we have for tomorrow." Kimman Wong – Singer-songwriter and TV host

Endnotes

  1. The maturity benefit (the amount you'll get at the end of the policy term) is a rounded-down percentage of the guaranteed cash value divided by the total amount of premiums paid at maturity. Such percentage varies by your chosen premium payment mode as follows:
    Premium payment mode Original percentage to be received at maturity Percentage (after discount) to be received at maturity
    For monthly premium payment (applicable to online application only): 108% 110%
    (30% discount off on your first month‘s premium when apply)
    For annual premium payment (applicable to branch and online application): 110% 113%
    (4.5% discount off on your first year's premium when apply)
    For aggregate premium (applicable to branch application only)2: 112% 114%
    (5.0% discount off on your prepaid aggregate premium when apply)
  2. The aggregate premium payment option allows you to prepay the required premiums and it is currently not available for online applications. The required annual premium will then be deducted from the balance of the prepaid premiums account on the relevant premium due dates. Please be aware that if you choose this payment option, you should ensure that you can afford to leave your prepaid premiums in your policy, as no withdrawal from the balance of the prepaid premiums together with interests accumulated is allowed once paid except in the event of death or surrender of your policy. You are therefore advised to choose a premium payment method that best fits your financial circumstances at the time of application and enquire at branches if you are considering to pay using the aggregate premium payment option.
  3. Additional accidental death benefit will terminate at the end of the policy term, on the policy anniversary at which the life insured attains the age5 of 80 or payout of such benefit or your policy is terminated (whichever is earliest). Your policy will terminate once we paid this benefit.
  4. Terminal illness benefit is not available to you if you are aged5 65 or above. This benefit will terminate on the Policy Anniversary at which you attain the age5 of 65 years or payout of such benefit or your policy is terminated (whichever is the earliest). Your policy will terminate once we paid this benefit.
  5. Age means the Insurance Age of the policyholder (ie same as the life insured) where applicable at his or her next birthday.
  6. The unemployment benefit is applicable to any policyholder aged5 between 19 and 64 who holds a Hong Kong Identity card. It is not applicable if you choose to prepay the required premiums2. The benefit will terminate on the policy anniversary at which the policyholder attains the age5 of 65 years, all due premiums have been paid or your policy is terminated (whichever is the earliest).
  7. Application for HSBC FirstSave is subject to our relevant requirements on nationality and/or addresses and/or residency of the policyholder (ie same as the life insured) as determined by us from time to time.
