The Ascent's editorial team analyzed over 100 financial products and compiled in-depth reviews of the top credit cards and savings accounts on the market. Savings accounts were evaluated based on fees and annual percentage yields (APYs).

According to the Ascent, "HSBC's Direct Savings account offers an excellent combination of low fees and minimums, a user-friendly platform and one of the highest APYs in the industry. This high-yield savings offering from one of the largest banks in the world is one of our favorites on the market."

The Ascent's selection was based on a variety of qualifying factors, including:

  • High APY — The HSBC Direct Savings account currently offers a 2.05% APY, which is among the best interest rates offered by high-yield savings accounts.
  • $1 minimum deposit — To open a new HSBC Direct Savings account, you'll need an initial deposit of just $1, which must be made from new money.
  • No maintenance fee — Unlike many branch-based savings accounts, the HSBC Direct Savings doesn't charge a monthly maintenance fee.
  • Mobile check deposit — You can use the HSBC Mobile Banking App to make check deposits into your account, and to move money between accounts.
  • FDIC insured — The HSBC Direct Savings account is FDIC-insured to the maximum amounts allowed by law.
  • Live chat — HSBC offers live chat assistance to customers online and on the mobile app, which can be a major time-saver as opposed to waiting on hold to speak with a customer service representative.
  • Financial tools — Account holders can use HSBC Money Management Tools to assist with things like budgeting, savings goals and more.

"It's an honor to have our Direct Savings product recognized as one of the ‘Best Savings Accounts for 2020,’” said Alvaro Teixeira, Head of Customer Value Management for HSBC's U.S. Retail Banking and Wealth Management business. "We're excited to be able to offer our customers a smarter way to save with a competitive APY, and an opportunity to reach their financial goals faster."
