HSBC has traveled a long way since its beginning from a small local bank to the World's Local Bank. HSBC was born from one small idea, a local bank serving local needs. In March 1865 HSBC opened its doors for business in Hong Kong and today it welcomes customers across the globe as the world's local bank.

The inspiration behind the founding of the bank was Thomas Sutherland, a Scot who was then working for the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation company. He realized that there was considerable demand for local banking facilities in Hong Kong and on the China coast and he helped to establish the bank which opened in Hong Kong in March 1865 and in Shanghai a month later.
