HSBC was born from a simple idea - a local bank serving international needs. Opening its doors in Hong Kong in 1865 to finance trade between Europe and Asia, our presence in Singapore dates back to the opening of our first branch in the city in 1877.
Today, HSBC Commercial Banking uses its international network covering more than 90% of trade flows to help 1.7 million customers across 54 markets grow their business.
Asia is at the heart of HSBC’s 150-year legacy, with Singapore – the 4th largest financial centre in the world – being one of our top eight markets globally for growth and investment.
With our 10 branches across the island and moving to a new Head Office in 2020, we are the Asia hub for Project Finance, Commodity, Structured Trade Finance and the Energy Solutions Group. We are also one of three regional hubs in Asia for Liquidity and Cash Management.
