HSBC UK ( 好似=/= HSBC UK Bank plc 或 HSBC Bank plc ?) 因為有ring-fencing保障,唔會受金融海嘯影響?
但係我睇唔明以下深色部份:
After the global economic crisis, the UK Government put new rules in place to protect the economy and taxpayers in case something similar happens again. This means we must:
1.Separate our retail banking operations from any wholesale and investment divisions
2.Change the way we are structured in the UK - creating a new ring-fenced bank, HSBC UK Bank plc (HSBC UK)
3.Make the changes prior to 1 January 2019 - to achieve this, we intend to complete required activities well ahead of this deadline
What does this mean to you
To ensure we meet the new banking rules, we propose to transfer our personal customers and most of our business customers in the UK from HSBC UK Bank plc to HSBC UK.
