With great history, the HSBC Group is now one of the largest banking and financial services organisations in the world. Headquartered in London, the HSBC Group operates through long-established businesses in Europe, the Asia-Pacific region, the Americas, the Middle East and Africa.
Within each of these geographical regions, the principal businesses operate essentially as domestic banks, supporting local large and medium-sized businesses, as well as global clients of the HSBC Group. Each operation commonly has a large retail deposit base, strong liquidity and capital ratios that enable the local operations to grow.
Through its international network of around 9 500 offices in over 85 countries and territories, the HSBC Group provides a comprehensive range of financial services to almost 125 million personal, commercial, corporate, institutional and private banking clients.
By using HSBC's global reach, businesses are able to access the Group's wide range of products and services and adapt them to local customer needs.
