FWP-6

RISK FACTORS

We urge you to read the section RiskFactors beginning on pageS-1 in the accompanying prospectus supplement and on page S-2 of the Equity Index UnderlyingSupplement. Investing in the Notes is not equivalent to investing directly in any of the stocks included in any Underlying. Youshould understand the risks of investing in the Notes and should reach an investment decision only after careful consideration,with your advisors, of the suitability of the Notes in light of your particular financial circumstances and the information setforth in this free writing prospectus and the accompanying prospectus, prospectus supplement and Equity Index Underlying Supplement.

In addition to the risks discussed below,you should review Risk Factors in the accompanying prospectus supplement and the accompanying Equity Index UnderlyingSupplement, including the explanation of risks relating to the Notes described in the following sections:

4Risks Relating to All Note Issuances in the prospectus supplement; and

4General Risks Related to Indices in the Equity Index Underlying Supplement.

You will be subject tosignificant risks not associated with conventional fixed-rate or floating-rate debt securities.

Your investment in the Notes may resultin a loss.

You will be exposed on a leveraged basisto the decline in the Final Level from the Initial Level beyond the Buffer Level of -25%. If any of the Underlyings declines bymore than the Buffer Level, you will lose 1% of your investment for every 1% decline in the Least Performing Underlying beyondthe Buffer Level. Accordingly, if the Reference Return of the Least Performing Underlying is less than -25%, your Payment at Maturitywill be less than the Principal Amount of your Notes. You will lose some or a significant portion (up to 75%) of your investmentat maturity if the Reference Return of the Least Performing Underlying is less than the Buffer Level.

Your return on the Notes is limitedto the Principal Amount plus any accrued coupon regardless of any appreciation in the level of the Underlyings.

Unless any Underlying is below the BufferLevel, for each $1,000 Principal Amount of Notes, you will receive $1,000 at maturity plus any unpaid coupon payments, regardlessof any appreciation in the level of any Underlying, which may be significant. Under no circumstances, regardless of the extentto which the level of any Underlying appreciates, will your return exceed the total amount of the coupon payments. Accordingly,the return on the Notes may be significantly less than the return on a direct investment in one or both of the Underlyings duringthe term of the Notes.

The Notes are subject to the creditrisk of HSBC USA Inc.

The Notes are senior unsecured debt obligationsof the Issuer, HSBC, and are not, either directly or indirectly, an obligation of any third party. As further described in theaccompanying prospectus supplement and prospectus, the Notes will rank on par with all of the other unsecured and unsubordinateddebt obligations of HSBC, except such obligations as may be preferred by operation of law. All payments on the Notes depend onthe ability of HSBC to satisfy its obligations as they come due. As a result, the actual and perceived creditworthiness of HSBCmay affect the market value of the Notes and, in the event HSBC were to default on its obligations, you may not receive the amountsowed to you under the terms of the Notes.

Since the Notes are linked to theLeast Performing Underlying, you will be fully exposed to the risk of fluctuations in the levels of each Underlying.

Sincethe Notes are linked to the Least Performing Underlying, the Notes will be linked to the individual performance of each Underlying.Because the Notes are not linked to a weighted basket, in which the risk is mitigated and diversified among all of the componentsof a basket, you will be exposed to the risk of fluctuations in the levels of the Underlyings to the same degree for each Underlying.For example, in the case of Notes linked to a weighted basket, the return would depend on the weighted aggregate performance ofthe basket components reflected as the basket return. Thus, the depreciation of any basket component could be mitigated by theappreciation of another basket component, as scaled by the weightings of such basket components. However, in the case of theseNotes, the individual performance of each of the Underlyings would not be combined to calculate your return and the depreciationof any Underlying would not be mitigated by the appreciation of the other Underlying. Instead, your return would depend on theLeast Performing Underlying.

Changes that affect the ReferenceAsset may affect the market value of the Notes and the amount you will receive at maturity.

The policies of the reference sponsorsconcerning additions, deletions and substitutions of the constituents included in each Underlying and the manner in which the referencesponsors take account of certain changes affecting those constituents included in that Underlying may affect the level of thatUnderlying. The policies of the reference sponsors with respect to the calculation of the relevant Underlying could also affectthe level of that Underlying. The reference sponsors may discontinue or suspend calculation or dissemination of the relevant Underlying.Any such actions could affect the value of the Notes and their return.

FWP-7

The Notes are not insured or guaranteedby any governmental agency of the United States or any other jurisdiction.

The Notes are not deposit liabilities orother obligations of a bank and are not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmentalagency or program of the United States or any other jurisdiction. An investment in the Notes is subject to the credit risk of HSBC,and in the event that HSBC is unable to pay its obligations as they become due, you may not receive the full Payment at Maturityof the Notes.

The Estimated Initial Value of the Notes,which will be determined by us on the Pricing Date, will be less than the price to public and may differ from the market valueof the Notes in the secondary market, if any.

The Estimated Initial Value of the Noteswill be calculated by us on the Pricing Date and will be less than the price to public. The Estimated Initial Value will reflectour internal funding rate, which is the borrowing rate we pay to issue market-linked securities, as well as the mid-market valueof the embedded derivatives in the Notes. This internal funding rate is typically lower than the rate we would use when we issueconventional fixed or floating rate debt securities. As a result of the difference between our internal funding rate and the ratewe would use when we issue conventional fixed or floating rate debt securities, the Estimated Initial Value of the Notes may belower if it were based on the levels at which our fixed or floating rate debt securities trade in the secondary market. In addition,if we were to use the rate we use for our conventional fixed or floating rate debt issuances, we would expect the economic termsof the Notes to be more favorable to you. We will determine the value of the embedded derivatives in the Notes by reference toour or our affiliates internal pricing models. These pricing models consider certain assumptions and variables, which caninclude volatility and interest rates. Different pricing models and assumptions could provide valuations for the Notes that aredifferent from our Estimated Initial Value. These pricing models rely in part on certain forecasts about future events, which mayprove to be incorrect. The Estimated Initial Value does not represent a minimum price at which we or any of our affiliates wouldbe willing to purchase your Notes in the secondary market (if any exists) at any time.

The price of your Notes in the secondarymarket, if any, immediately after the Pricing Date will be less than the price to public.

The price to public takes into accountcertain costs. These costs, which will be used or retained by us or one of our affiliates, include the underwriting discount, ouraffiliates projected hedging profits (which may or may not be realized) for assuming risks inherent in hedging our obligationsunder the Notes and the costs associated with structuring and hedging our obligations under the Notes. If you were to sell yourNotes in the secondary market, if any, the price you would receive for your Notes may be less than the price you paid for thembecause secondary market prices will not take into account these costs. The price of your Notes in the secondary market, if any,at any time after issuance will vary based on many factors, including the levels of the Underlyings and changes in market conditions,and cannot be predicted with accuracy. The Notes are not designed to be short-term trading instruments, and you should, therefore,be able and willing to hold the Notes to maturity. Any sale of the Notes prior to maturity could result in a loss to you.

If we were to repurchase your Notesimmediately after the Original Issue Date, the price you receive may be higher than the Estimated Initial Value of the Notes.

Assuming that all relevant factors remainconstant after the Original Issue Date, the price at which HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. may initially buy or sell the Notes in thesecondary market, if any, and the value that we may initially use for customer account statements, if we provide any customer accountstatements at all, may exceed the Estimated Initial Value on the Pricing Date for a temporary period expected to be approximately3 months after the Original Issue Date. This temporary price difference may exist because, in our discretion, we may elect to effectivelyreimburse to investors a portion of the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the Notes and other costs in connectionwith the Notes that we will no longer expect to incur over the term of the Notes. We will make such discretionary election anddetermine this temporary reimbursement period on the basis of a number of factors, including the tenor of the Notes and any agreementwe may have with the distributors of the Notes. The amount of our estimated costs which we effectively reimburse to investors inthis way may not be allocated ratably throughout the reimbursement period, and we may discontinue such reimbursement at any timeor revise the duration of the reimbursement period after the Original Issue Date of the Notes based on changes in market conditionsand other factors that cannot be predicted.

The Notes lack liquidity.

The Notes will not be listed on any securitiesexchange. HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. is not required to offer to purchase the Notes in the secondary market, if any exists. Evenif there is a secondary market, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell the Notes easily. Because otherdealers are not likely to make a secondary market for the Notes, the price at which you may be able to trade your Notes is likelyto depend on the price, if any, at which HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. is willing to buy the Notes.

Potential conflicts of interest mayexist.

HSBC and its affiliates play a varietyof roles in connection with the issuance of the Notes, including acting as calculation agent and hedging our obligations underthe Notes. In performing these duties, the economic interests of the calculation agent and other affiliates

FWP-8

of ours are potentiallyadverse to your interests as an investor in the Notes. We will not have any obligation to consider your interests as a holder ofthe Notes in taking any action that might affect the value of your Notes.

The amount payable on the Notes is not linked to the levelof any Underlying at any time other than on the Final Valuation Date.

The FinalLevel of each Underlying will be based on its Official Closing Level on the Final Valuation Date, subject to postponement for non-tradingdays and certain market disruption events. Even if the level of one or both Underlyings appreciates prior to the Final ValuationDate but then decreases on the Final Valuation Date to a level that is less than its Initial Level, the Payment at Maturity willbe less, and may be significantly less, than it would have been had the Payment at Maturity been linked to the level of the Underlyingsprior to such decrease. Although the actual level of one or both Underlyings on the stated Maturity Date or at other times duringthe term of the Notes may be higher than its Final Level, the Payment at Maturity will be based solely on the Official ClosingLevel of each Underlyings on the Final Valuation Date.

Uncertain tax treatment.

For a discussion of the U.S. federal incometax consequences of your investment in a Note, please see the discussion under U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerationsherein and the discussion under U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations in the accompanying prospectus supplement.

Small-capitalization risk.

The RTY tracks companies that may be consideredsmall-capitalization companies. These companies often have greater stock price volatility, lower trading volume and less liquiditythan large-capitalization companies and therefore the level of the RTY may be more volatile than an investment in stocks issuedby larger companies. Stock prices of small-capitalization companies may also be more vulnerable than those of larger companiesto adverse business and economic developments, and the stocks of small-capitalization companies may be thinly traded, making itdifficult for the RTY to track them. In addition, small-capitalization companies are often less stable financially than large-capitalizationcompanies and may depend on a small number of key personnel, making them more vulnerable to loss of personnel. Small-capitalizationcompanies are often subject to less analyst coverage and may be in early, and less predictable, periods of their corporate existences.These companies tend to have smaller revenues, less diverse product lines, smaller shares of their product or service markets,fewer financial resources and competitive strengths than large-capitalization companies, and are more susceptible to adverse developmentsrelated to their products.

ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLES

The following table and examples are providedfor illustrative purposes only and are hypothetical. They do not purport to be representative of every possible scenario concerningincreases or decreases in the level of any Underlying relative to its Initial Level. We cannot predict the Final Level of any Underlying.The assumptions we have made in connection with the illustrations set forth below may not reflect actual events. You should nottake this illustration or these examples as an indication or assurance of the expected performance of the Underlyings or the returnon your Notes. The return on the Notes may be less than the return that you would have received from a conventional debtsecurity with the same stated maturity, including those issued by HSBC. The numbers appearing in the table below and followingexamples have been rounded for ease of analysis.

The table below illustratesthe hypothetical total return at maturity on a $1,000 investment in the Notes for a hypothetical range of performance for the LeastPerforming Underlying from -100% to +100%. The following results are based solely on the assumptions outlined below. The HypotheticalTotal Return on the Notes as used below is the number, expressed as a percentage, that results from comparing the sum ofthe Final Settlement Value and the three annual coupon payments over the term of the Notes to $1,000. The potential returns describedhere assume that your Notes are held to maturity. You should consider carefully whether the Notes are suitable to your investmentgoals. The following table and examples assume the following:

4 Principal Amount: $1,000

4 Buffer Level: -25%

4 Hypothetical Coupon Rate*: 3.00% of the $1,000 Principal Amount of Notes

*The CouponRate will be between 3.00 and 3.25% per annum, to be determined on the Pricing Date.

Hypothetical Examples of the Final SettlementValue

The three examples below set forth a samplingof hypothetical Final Settlement Values based on the following assumptions:

4 Principal Amount: $1,000

4 Buffer Level: -25%

The following examples indicate how theFinal Settlement Value would be calculated with respect to a hypothetical $1,000 investment in the Notes. In addition to the FinalSettlement Value, you will be entitled to receive annual coupon payments of [$30.00 - $32.50] (to be determined on the PricingDate) on each Coupon Payment Date.

Example 1: The level of the Least PerformingUnderlying increases from the Initial Level to the Final Level by 10.00%.

Reference Return: 10.00%

Final Settlement Value: $1,000.00

Although the Reference Return of the LeastPerforming Underlying is positive, you will not participate in increases in either Underlying. Since the Reference Return of theLeast Performing Underlying is greater than Buffer Level, the Final Settlement Value would be $1,000.00 per $1,000 Principal Amountof Notes.

Example 1 shows that you will receive thereturn of your principal investment if the Reference Return of the Least Performing Underlying is greater than the Buffer Level,but you will not participate in increases in any Underlying above the Initial Level.

Example 2: The level of the Least PerformingUnderlying decreases from the Initial Level to the Final Level by -10.00%.

Reference Return: -10.00%

Final Settlement Value: $1,000.00

Because the Reference Return of the LeastPerforming Underlying is less than zero but greater than the Buffer Level, the Final Settlement Value would be $1,000.00 per $1,000Principal Amount of Notes.

Example 2 shows that you will receive thereturn of your principal investment if the Reference Return of the Least Performing Underlying is negative but greater than theBuffer Level.

Example 3: The level of the Least PerformingUnderlying decreases from the Initial Level to the Final Level by -40%.

Reference Return: -40.00%

Final Settlement Value: $850.00

Here, the Reference Returnof the Least Performing Underlying is -40.00%. Because the Reference Return of the Least Performing Underlying is less than theBuffer Level of -25%, the Final Settlement Value would be $850.00 per $1,000 Principal Amount of Notes calculated as follows

$1,000 + [$1,000 (Reference Return + 25%)]

= $1,000 + [$1,000 (-40.00% + 25%)]

= $850.00

Example 3 shows that youwill lose 1.00% of the Principal Amount of your Notes for each percentage point that the Reference Return of the Least PerformingUnderlying is below -25%. YOU WILL LOSE UP TO 75% OF THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF YOUR NOTES.

EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND ACCELERATION

If the Notes have become immediatelydue and payable following an Event of Default (as defined in the accompanying prospectus), the calculation agent will determine(i) the accelerated Payment at Maturity due and payable in the same general manner as described in Payment at Maturityin this free writing prospectus and (ii) any accrued but unpaid interest payable based upon the Annual Coupon Rate calculated onthe basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. In that case, the scheduled trading day preceding the date of accelerationwill be used as the Final Valuation Date for purposes of determining the accelerated Reference Return for each Underlying. If amarket disruption event exists with respect to an Underlying on that scheduled trading day, then the accelerated Final ValuationDate will be postponed for up to five scheduled trading days (in the same general manner used for postponing the originally scheduledFinal Valuation Date). The accelerated Maturity Date will also be postponed by an equal number of business days. For the avoidanceof doubt, if no market disruption event exists with respect to an Underlying on the scheduled trading day preceding the date ofacceleration, the determination of such Underlyings Reference Return will be made on such date, irrespective of the existenceof a market disruption event with respect to the other Underlying occurring on such date.

If the Notes have become immediatelydue and payable following an Event of Default, you will not be entitled to any additional payments with respect to the Notes. Formore information, see Description of Debt Securities Senior Debt Securities Events of Default inthe accompanying prospectus.

SUPPLEMENTAL PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION (CONFLICTSOF INTEREST)

See SupplementalPlan of Distribution (Conflicts of Interest) on page S-59 in the prospectus supplement.

U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

There is no direct legal authority as tothe proper tax treatment of the Notes, and therefore significant aspects of the tax treatment of the Notes are uncertain as toboth the timing and character of any inclusion in income in respect of the Notes. Under one approach, each Note should be treatedas a put option written by you (the Put Option) that permits us to cash settle the Put Option, anda deposit with us of cash in an amount equal to the Principal Amount of the Note (the Deposit) to secure your potentialobligation under the Put Option, as described in the accompanying prospectus supplement under the heading U.S. Federal IncomeTax Considerations Tax Treatment of U.S. Holders Certain Notes Treated as a Put Option and a Deposit or an ExecutoryContract Certain Notes Treated as a Put Option and a Deposit. We intend to treat the Notes consistent withthis approach, and we intend to treat the Deposits as non-contingent debt instruments for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Pursuantto the terms of the Notes, you agree to treat each Note as consisting of the Deposit and the Put Option for all U.S. federal incometax purposes. Subject to the limitations described therein, and based on certain factual representations received from us,in the opinion of our special U.S. tax counsel, Morrison & Foerster LLP, it is reasonable to treat a Note as consisting ofthe Deposit and the Put Option for all U.S. federal income tax purposes. Because there are no statutory provisions, regulations,published rulings or judicial decisions addressing the characterization for U.S. federal income tax purposes of securities withterms that are substantially the same as those of the Notes, other characterizations and treatments are possible and the timingand character of income in respect of the Notes might differ from the treatment described above. We do not plan to request a rulingfrom the Internal Revenue Service (the IRS) regarding the tax treatment of the Notes, and the IRS or a court maynot agree with the tax treatment described in this free writing prospectus.

FWP-14

We will not attempt to ascertain whetherany of the entities whose stock is included in the Reference Asset would be treated as a passive foreign investment company (PFIC)or United States real property holding corporation (USRPHC), both as defined for U.S. federal income tax purposes.If one or more of the entities whose stock is included in the Reference Asset were so treated, certain adverse U.S. federal incometax consequences might apply. You should refer to information filed with the SEC and other authorities by the entities whose stockis included in the Reference Asset and consult your tax advisor regarding the possible consequences to you if one or more of theentities whose stock is included in the Reference Asset is or becomes a PFIC or a USRPHC.

U.S. Holders. Please see the discussionunder the heading U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations Tax Treatment of U.S. Holders Certain Notes Treatedas a Put Option and a Deposit or an Executory Contract Certain Notes Treated as a Put Option and a Deposit in theaccompanying prospectus supplement for further discussion of U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to U.S. holders(as defined in the accompanying prospectus supplement). For purposes of dividing the Annual Coupon Rate of 3.00% - 3.25% on theNotes among interest on the Deposit and Put Premium, []% constitutes interest on the Deposit and []% constitutesPut Premium.

Non-U.S. Holders. Please see thediscussion under the heading U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations Tax Treatment of Non-U.S. Holders inthe accompanying prospectus supplement for further discussion of U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to non-U.S.holders (as defined in the accompanying prospectus supplement). Because the U.S. federal income tax treatment (including the applicabilityof withholding) of coupon payments on the Notes is uncertain, the entire amount of the coupon payment will be subject to U.S. federalincome tax withholding at a 30% rate (or at a lower rate under an applicable income tax treaty). We will not pay any additionalamounts in respect of such withholding. Additionally, recently finalized Treasury Regulations provide that withholding on dividendequivalent payments (as discussed in the accompanying prospectus supplement), if any, will not apply to Notes issued beforeJanuary 1, 2017.

Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act.The IRS has announced that withholding under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (as discussed in the accompanying prospectussupplement) on payments of gross proceeds from a sale, exchange or redemption or other disposition of the Notes will only applyto dispositions after December 31, 2018.

PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS OF NOTES SHOULDCONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, AND OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITIONOF NOTES.
