It was set up by a scot to give financing to european firms wanting to trade with a beaten china (following from the opium wars)Coffee's for closers -
HSBC has more in deposits than it lends and thus its SP is almost 10 quid, so this scaremongering is totally ridiculous.

So is it the other way round then? HSBC UK owns HSBC China? Which one owns nearly 70% of the Hang Seng?I am not qualified to give the above advice!

HSBC also stands for Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, and used to be the Midland Bank, who I used to work for.

HSBC bank plc is what you know as the High street bank and that is a British bank, but HSBC group is made up of quite a few others.

Read what PRC1964 posted. It's owned by a holding company, which is registered in the UK. It's head quartered in the UK. It was setup by a Scotsman, for trade in HK and Shanghai etc. HTH.Originally posted by The Lone Gunman View PostHang on - there is actually a place called Cheddar?? - cailin maith

from wikipedia
"HSBC Group is one of the oldest banking houses in the modern world. After the establishment of Hong Kong as a British colony in the aftermath of the Opium War, a bank was needed to finance the growing trade between China and Europe.
Although the holding company, HSBC Holdings, was established in 1990 to become the parent company to The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation in preparation for its purchase of Midland Bank and a change of domicile for the transfer of sovereignty of Hong Kong, its main and foundation-laying subsidiary The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation.. was established in Hong Kong and Shanghai in 1865. The founder, a Scotsman named Thomas Sutherland, wanted a bank operating on 'sound Scottish banking principles.' "
