HSBC Premier Lifehack

I asked them, too.
They clarified that InvestDirect is counted towards the relationship balance.
Very strange. :rolleyes:
Some associates (due to poor training and/or high turnover) still convey that but the system will still charge you. I know this from experience :(

I got a full year waived for underfunding fees after showing them the proof I got told the above. InvestDirect does not count towards the balance.
 
HSBC Turkey entry level just got cheaper...ERDOCOIN (TRY) just got nuked after another of his political maneuvres went wrong. Or maybe Erdogan wants to attract mroe Premier customers into Turkey? LOL

So if I have interest income or dividends in my HSBC Turkey account, do I have to fill a tax return in Turkey?
I think it's a bad idea to simply hold 30 k$ in a Turkish current account without interest to meet the minimum account balance.
No. In Türkiye, they automatically collect a 15% tax on interest. It used to be 10% until last year, but the S&P 500 is growing, NASDAQ is growing, Hang Seng is growing, crypto is growing, and taxes around the world are growing too :)
