Asia-Pacific

One of the world’s largest banking and financial services organisations, the HSBC Group had its beginnings in Hong Kong 145 years ago and the SAR remains one of its key markets and operating centres today. Established in Hong Kong in March 1865 and in Shanghai one month later, The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation is the founding member of the HSBC Group. It is the Group’s flagship in the Asia-Pacific region and the largest bank incorporated in Hong Kong. Known in Chinese as Wayfoong (which translates as ‘focus of wealth’ or ‘abundance of remittances’), the bank is also one of the SAR’s three note-issuing banks, accounting for more than 67.2 per cent of its banknotes.

HSBC’s Global Banking and Markets division offers a full range of services to corporate and institutional clients of all sizes across Asia. One of the largest businesses of its kind in the world, Global Banking and Markets fosters long-term relationships based on the Group’s unmatched global knowledge and local expertise.

The division has three business lines comprising Global Banking, Global Markets and Global Transaction Banking. Global Banking includes Corporate and Institutional Banking, Global Sector Management, Investment Banking, Project and Export Finance, and Asset and Structured Finance. Global Markets manages current trading activities and HSBC’s markets-related financing businesses (debt capital markets, loan syndication, equity capital markets, equity-linked capital markets and structured/ABS capital markets), managing primary and secondary markets activities as a single business line. Global Transaction Banking comprises Payments and Cash Management, Securities Services and Trade Services.

Our flagship office, designed by renowned British architect, Sir Norman Foster, is one of the most eye-catching buildings in Hong Kong’s famous waterfront panorama.
