About HSBC
Established in Hong Kong and Shanghai in 1865, The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited (HSBC) is the founding member of the HSBC Group – one of the world’s largest banking and financial services organisations with around 10,000 offices in 83 countries and territories – and its flagship in the Asia-Pacific region. HSBC is the largest bank incorporated in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and one of the SAR’s three note-issuing banks.
In mainland China, HSBC has had a continuous presence for over 143 years. On 2 April 2007, HSBC Bank (China) Company Limited (HSBC China) started operations as a wholly-foreign-owned bank solely owned by The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited. With its headquarters in Shanghai, HSBC China incorporated the previous mainland China offices of The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited.
In HSBC, we believe people are fundamental to our business and its success. One of the key priorities in our People Strategy is to identify, develop, and retain high potential talents. The Bank will continue to dedicate significant resources to develop local talents into professional bankers.
