Our presence in the USA dates back to 1875 when HSBC opened an office in San Francisco, and five years later, an office in New York City. Both locations specialized in trade finance. In 1955, the San Francisco office was converted to The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation of California, a new subsidiary that developed a small network of branches with a continued focus on trade.
In 1980, HSBC acquired a majority stake in Marine Midland Bank, with a full takeover completed seven years later. Marine Midland Bank was renamed HSBC Bank USA in 1999. In that same year, HSBC Holdings plc made its debut on the New York Stock Exchange and completed the acquisition of Republic New York Corporation.
In 2024, HSBC moved its corporate U.S. headquarters to The Spiral in New York City, the financial capital of the world, reaffirming our commitment to our clients.
