In February 2020, we set out a plan to shift our business strategy in the United States to maximize the connection between our clients and our world-class international network. Our primary business will be a wholesale bank focused on the international needs of clients. We are renewing our emphasis on the US$5 trillion international wealth management opportunity from globally mobile and affluent individuals in the United States. Is HSBC exiting the United States? No, HSBC is not exiting its US business. We aim to be the leading international bank in the United States and are focused on what we do best – connecting Americans to a world of opportunity and bringing cross-border business and investment to the United States. We will continue to provide banking services not only to our wholesale banking clients, but also to our Premier, Jade and Private Banking customers. I have personal accounts at HSBC and I’m in the United States. How will these agreements affect me? Upon completion of the transactions, the accounts of in-scope customers will be transferred to Citizens or Cathay Bank. We thank those customers for their business and will ensure the transfer occurs with as minimum disruption as possible.

    Stuart Gulliver, Group Chief Executive, Said: “We Accept Responsibility for Our Past Mistakes

    HSBC’s response re HSBC and its staff allegedly contributed to human rights abuses by “doing business with Mexican drug lords, terrorist financers and pariah states” 19 March 2013 Business & Human Rights Resource Centre invited HSBC to respond to the following items: - “Outrage at vast HSBC profits and bonuses despite role in drug money laundering”, Global Witness, 4 Mar 2013: http://www.globalwitness.org/library/outrage-vast-hsbc-profits-and-bonuses-despite-role-drug- money-laundering HSBC sent us the following response: Our position on the US matters was clearly set out in December 2012. The attached press release of 11 December 2012 includes the following (extracts): Stuart Gulliver, Group Chief Executive, said: “We accept responsibility for our past mistakes. We have said we are profoundly sorry for them, and we do so again. The HSBC of today is a fundamentally different organisation from the one that made those mistakes. Over the last two years, under new senior leadership, we have been taking concrete steps to put right what went wrong and to participate actively with government authorities in bringing to light and addressing these matters." As noted in the DPA, HSBC Bank USA already has, over the past several years, undertaken the following voluntary remedial measures: increased its spending on anti-money laundering (AML) approximately nine-fold between 2009 and 2011; increased its AML staffing nearly ten-fold between 2010 and 2012; revamped its Know Your Customer programme, including treating non-US HSBC Group Affiliates as third parties subject to the same due diligence as all other customers; exited 109 correspondent relationships for risk reasons; clawed back bonuses for a number of senior officers, and spent over US$290m on remedial measures.
