HSBC - The world's local bank

Commercial Banking (CMB) in South Africa consists of a dedicated team of Relationship Managers and Client Service Managers responsible for initiating, developing and managing long-term relationships with clients across South Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa. We aim to be the leading international business bank, providing global products and services in a consistent and seamless manner.

Due to the global footprint of HSBC and CMB in particular, the local team of Relationship Managers work closely with colleagues around the world, giving local clients access to other countries and international relationship managers, whilst providing the same to overseas clients.

We offer a full range of debt, trade finance, cash management and treasury and capital market products. CMB clients will also enjoy Investment Banking Services offered through our Johannesburg based team.

Our current target market focuses on the South African market, with the following clients:

  • Multinational companies with a presence in the region (with particular focus on companies with existing HSBC relationships globally)
  • Large Local Corporates (minimum turnover of ZAR250mln per annum) with international or cross-border ambitions or needs.

The local team is the initial point of contact between the client and the Group's global products and services, which include:

  • Investment banking
  • Global Markets, including Debt Capital Markets
  • Trade and Supply Chain Management
  • Payments and Cash management
