How an HSBC Student Account can help you
Competitive interest rates
With HSBC Student, you get access to our current account which is easy to manage and earns you more interest than our normal savings account so you can make your money go that much further.
Manage your money when you want
HSBC online banking allows you to manage most of your everyday transactions from your desktop or smartphone. It's safe, convenient and you can access your accounts anytime and anywhere, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Shop and withdraw cash by debit card
Your HSBC International Debit Card will let you pay for goods and services wherever you are in the world and get free cash withdrawals from any HSBC ATM worldwide.
Preferential exchange rates
Planning to go abroad? We’ve got you covered with preferential foreign exchange rates for up to €1200, and if you have any cash left over when you return, we’ll exchange that back to euros at a preferential rate as well.
Eligibility
The HSBC Student package is available for:
- a full-time student, either Maltese or a foreign national, studying secondary or tertiary education in Malta
- aged between 13 and 25 years
- stipend must be credited directly into an HSBC Student Account
Student without a stipend
If you are a student but will not be receiving a stipend, you can still enjoy the convenience and flexibility of our Current Account.
