I posted this in the "interest rate is now 4.25% thread", but I got a mailer for this offer the other day, go to hsbcdirect.com/start and enter the code: 25pig

Clocks said:Anyone know where to find the "fee schedule" for this account?

See page 2 of the pdf in the Quick Summary.

I just filled in an application for a new HSBC direct account and it is pending now. I decided to fund with my Emigrant account, used 226070319 routing number, but on the drop down, i selected "savings account". Was this correct or should I have selected checking?

I ask because Emigrant recognizes my ING account as a checking account even though its clearly a savings account.

ummmm..it says "Open an account and get a $25 bonus" right next to the box where you enter the promo code.

Does anyone know what the routing # is for INGDirect?

FYI. ING doesn't work when I tried to fund the CD.

How long does it take for the $25 to show up?

Thanks alot. We have no savings account and the $25 will be nice.

i tried funding my application with ING Direct, but the routing number wouldnt work, so i called customer service for HSBC and they said that ING Direct blacked out HSBC from using their routing number for ACH or something. Guess ill have to use an intermediate account.
Hope I get my $25.

Old question: Anyone here opened this account that is not a permanent resident (green card holder) OR US Citizen?
Alternatively: any non-resident aliens (not little green men from Mars) open this account?
Thanks
