HSBC is one of the world’s largest banking and financial services organisations serving around 46 million customers. HSBC’s aim is to be acknowledged as the world’s leading and most respected international bank. Headquartered in London, HSBC operates through long-established businesses and an international network of around 4,400 offices in 71 countries and territories.
