Frequently asked questions

See how HSBC has successfully supported start-ups to expand internationally.

“We were positively surprised by HSBC and its method of assessing us, which was much more like how a venture capital or private equity firm would do it: looking at the innate value of the company and not just immediate financial results... Startups typically don’t have this kind of relationship with their bank, so I’m very happy and grateful for this.”

Thomas Laboulle
CEO & Founder, Toku
