HSBC Private Bank (formerly HSBC Republic) was established on 31 December 1999, when HSBC acquired Republic New York Corporation and Safra Republic Holdings, parent companies of Republic National Bank of New York. Founded in 1966 and built on a banking tradition established during the Ottoman Empire, Republic National Bank of New York specialised in private banking.
The marketing name HSBC Private Bank was adopted on 1 January 2004, building on the heritage of private wealth management brought by international subsidiaries, the strength of our commercial banking relationships and HSBC’s prudent long-term strategy. The use of the label ‘HSBC Private Bank’ refers to HSBC’s worldwide principal private banking business, and is not indicative of any legal entity or relationship.
At HSBC Private Bank, we aim to bring the very best of the HSBC Group to our most valued clients. Our global network, combined with local market knowledge and expertise, sets us apart and connects you to bespoke growth opportunities around the world.
