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 8,000 offices in 87 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.

With its headquarters in Shanghai, HSBC China incorporated the previous mainland China offices of The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited.
