HSBC to close its US business banking unit to simplify operations

HSBC to close its US business banking unit to simplify operations

HSBC, a UK-headquartered lender, has announced its decision to exit its business banking portfolio in the United States as part of its ongoing efforts to simplify operations and focus more on the Asian and Middle Eastern markets. The move comes after a strategic review of the business, with HSBC stating that it will be supporting impacted clients as they transition to alternative providers while retaining some clients in its Mid-Market and Global Network Banking business.

According to a report from The Wall Street Journal, approximately 4,500 clients will be affected by HSBC’s decision to exit the US business banking portfolio. The bank has been actively reducing its global footprint in order to increase profitability and expand its presence in key markets in Asia and the Middle East.

Earlier this year, HSBC announced plans to wind down its M&A and equities businesses in the Americas and Europe. The Wall Street Journal also reported that HSBC had laid off 40 employees in its US business banking division, although the bank declined to comment on the matter.

In a similar vein, HSBC had previously announced its withdrawal from the US mass market retail banking sector in 2021, selling off certain parts of the business and winding down others. In 2022, the bank sold its Canadian business to the Royal Bank of Canada for C$13.5 billion.

The decision to exit the US business banking portfolio is in line with HSBC’s broader strategy to streamline operations and focus on markets where it sees greater growth potential. The bank’s shift towards Asia and the Middle East reflects its commitment to expanding its presence in regions that offer more promising opportunities for future growth and profitability.
