HSBC Bank

HSBC Bank USA is the American division of HSBC Holdings plc, a financial institution that began in 1865 with a mission to support trade between Asia and Europe. The company’s roots trace back to its founding as The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, and over time, HSBC has grown into a global banking leader with a presence in more than 60 countries. One notable milestone in its history was the acquisition of Midland Bank in the United Kingdom, which significantly expanded its international reach.

Today, HSBC Bank USA is headquartered in New York City and focuses on serving international and affluent clients through retail banking, wealth management, commercial banking, and global banking services. As of November 2025, the bank operates approximately 150 branches, with its physical footprint concentrated in major metropolitan areas such as New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Miami. Over the past five years, HSBC Bank USA has intentionally reduced its branch network, shifting resources toward digital transformation and enhancing its ability to serve clients who require sophisticated cross-border financial solutions.

The bank continues to invest in flagship urban locations and premium retail formats, maintaining a visible presence in high-profile markets. This approach supports the needs of high-net-worth individuals and multinational corporations, offering stability and international credibility as a tenant. HSBC’s selective real estate strategy and ongoing commitment to digital banking reflect an adaptive posture in a changing financial landscape, positioning the brand as a reliable and recognized name in key U.S. cities.
