ABOUT THIS COMPANY:
Hails from the Far East
HSBC Holdings is one of the largest banking companies in Asia and one of the largest in the world, with 8,500 offices in 86 countries and territories. It provides a full range of financial services, including consumer and business banking, asset management, investment banking, securities trading, insurance and leasing to its 125 million customers.
In 2008, the firm ranked No. 1 on the Forbes Global 2000, a list of the world's largest companies measured by sales, profits, assets and market value. It was the first time that a non-U.S.-based firm topped the list. However, HSBC's reign was short-lived, as the firm dropped to No. 6 on the list for 2009. Headquartered in London, HSBC today has nearly 10,000 offices in 83 countries, making its motto, "the world's local bank," pretty accurate.
