Our Hold Funds Policy We may hold some or all of your deposits When you deposit a cheque or other type of payment to your personal account, either at a branch or through the ATM, we may hold some or all of the amount. This means you may not be able to access the funds you deposited right away. You cannot withdraw the funds we hold, and we will not use those funds to pay cheques or pre-authorized debits until the hold period ends. The amount we hold for each customer is different We decide how much to hold based on each customer. We consider factors such as how long you have been an HSBC customer, your credit rating, and the amount of funds you have in your HSBC accounts. We also decide based on the type of cheque and where it is coming from. Releasing your funds We release the holds on funds you deposit as soon as we reasonably can. We release your funds according to the hold periods in the table below, as long as what you deposit to your account meets these requirements: The cheque is in Canadian dollars and drawn on a financial institution s branch in Canada. Our operational systems can read the cheque, meaning it is paper-based and encoded with magnetic ink, is not damaged or mutilated. You deposit to an account where there is no evidence of illegal or fraudulent activity on the account, or other signs of a suspicious transaction, including those we must report under the law. You deposit to an account open for more than 90 days. The cheque is payable to the account owner and has not been endorsed more than once. The cheque is deposited within six months of the issue date. The hold periods in this table apply to deposits to your personal accounts.

All deposits at an ATM follow our hold funds policy. Business days do not include Saturday, Sunday or statutory holidays. We may hold funds for a deposit longer than the hold periods in the table above if we need to investigate a cheque, or for situations beyond our control such as a system outage or natural catastrophe. We may hold cheques that do not meet the requirements above for 30 business days. We hold all cheques from a financial institution outside of Canada for 30 business days. This hold period is an estimate that applies if we credit the funds to your account. We may hold your funds longer if we don t receive payment within 30 business days E_ Page 14 of 16

We charge monthly fees and account transaction fees on accounts held in currencies other than Canadian dollars in the currency of the account. If a fee is not shown in the foreign currency, we charge an amount equal to the Canadian dollar fee converted at our rate on the date we charge the fee. For foreign exchange transactions, we may earn revenue on the difference between buy and sell foreign exchange rates. Contact us Questions?
