By Jennifer Chiou

New York, Oct. 2 - HSBC Bank USA, NA plans to price 0% certificates of deposit with minimum return due Oct. 28, 2015 linked to the Dow Jones Industrial Average, according to a term sheet.

The payout at maturity will be par plus the greater of the index return and the minimum return, which is expected to be 1% to 6% and will be set at pricing.

The final index level used to calculate the index return will be the average of the index's closing levels on Jan. 23, April 23, July 23 and Oct. 23 of each year during the life of the notes.

The CDs will be putable on Oct. 29, 2010, Oct. 31, 2011, Oct. 31, 2012, Oct. 31, 2013 and Oct. 31, 2014. The redemption amount will be the then-current market value of the CDs minus an early redemption charge of 3% in year one, 2% in year two and 1% in year three. There is no charge in years four through six.

The CDs will price on Oct. 23 and settle on Oct. 28.
