HSBC in the People's Republic of China

The dragon dance has long been an exuberant feature of festive celebrations in China. Skill and co-ordination are required to bring together the elements of the dance into a fluid display of seamless teamwork. The same is true of doing business in China – every celebrated success requires the support of an experienced and dynamic team.

HSBC Bank (China) Company Limited started operations in Shanghai in April 2007 as a wholly foreign owned bank solely owned by The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited. HSBC China incorporated the previous mainland China offices of The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited, which has had a continuous presence in mainland China since 1865 and has invested more than USD5 billion there in select mainland financial services entities and the growth of its own operations. HSBC's depth of experience delivers an unmatched level of service across all aspects of finance in mainland China.

With the largest network of any foreign bank in mainland China, HSBC China is uniquely placed to support you in your business and trading with mainland China. With some 10,000 offices in 82 countries and territories, HSBC brings a true global reach to its extensive local strength and knowledge in mainland China.

HSBC's quality of service, product innovation and commitment to mainland China are illustrated by the number and quality of awards the bank has received, including FinanceAsia 's award for 'Best Foreign Bank in China' (2001-2006), The Asset's Triple A award for 'Best Bank in China' (2004-2006), Asiamoney's award for 'Best Cash Management Bank: China' (2002-2005) and Global Finance's award for 'Best Sub-Custodian in China' (2003-2006).
