Overview
The Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited is the founding member of the HSBC Group. Established in 1865 to finance the growing trade between Asia and Europe, it has become the biggest bank incorporated in Hong Kong.
Account opening: 7-14 working days
Overview:
From the late 1950s the bank began to grow and diversify by acquiring other banks, including Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Bank in 1965. Responding to the Chinese government’s ‘Open Door’ policy in 1979, the bank opened a representative office in Guangzhou as many of its customers began to relocate their operations from Hong Kong to China. HSBC continued to invest and grow in Hong Kong and the surrounding region into the 21st century.
Hong Kong remains the headquarters of The Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, and the bank is committed to the future of its birthplace.
