💡. Georges Elhedery.....From my perspective, HSBC has a unique opportunity to lead financial transformation in Latin America with a comprehensive, localized strategy. By adopting advanced technologies like AI and blockchain, HSBC can provide personalized and secure services. Enhancing remittance processing is crucial for families dependent on these funds. Additionally, ensuring linguistic and technological inclusion in remote areas is essential for reaching the entire population. Supporting SMEs and microfinance will drive economic growth, while promoting sustainable products and financial education will advance the region’s socioeconomic development. Collaborating with local fintechs can foster innovation and create tailored financial solutions. Through these initiatives, HSBC can not only strengthen its competitive position but also play a pivotal role in advancing financial inclusion across Latin America.

I know the news is old, but the legacy will live forever. For years, I've walked past this HSBC branch, and this weekend, I captured a moment of change—the fading HSBC logo alongside the emerging RBC sign. Having played a direct role in transitioning HSBC clients to RBC Capital Markets systems, I cannot possibly put into words the amount of effort and dedication this acquisition required. Documenting this milestone in RBC’s history feels surreal. It’s a testament to the seamless transition and collaborative spirit that defines our team. This acquisition is not just about changing signs, but about integrating values, cultures, and ambitions. It's about building on the strong foundation that HSBC laid down and enhancing it with RBC's innovation and commitment to excellence. As we move ahead, I’m looking forward to seeing how this new chapter will unfold and how it will allow us to serve our clients with even greater efficiency and personalized solutions. Here’s to new beginnings and the incredible journey ahead! #RBC #HSBC #Finance #Banking #Acquisition #Innovation #Teamwork

After a tenure exceeding 26 years, 25th December 2023 marked my last day in Credit Suisse.    It has been an amazing journey of ups and downs, highs and lows; but mostly ups and highs.   I have been reading many similar messages from my ex-colleagues as they have bid farewell to an institution they loved. For many of us — who worked incredibly hard for a long time for a firm that was admired and was a leader in its chosen businesses — the sudden collapse of Credit Suisse has been a really difficult event to process. More so in Asia-Pacific where CS had a particularly successful and dominant franchise. When you take exceptionally smart people with an ethic of hard work and mix it with collegiality, and a penchant for out-of-the-box thinking, you often get magic. For most of these 26 years, it was indeed magic. It is therefore with a bundle of mixed feelings that I leave CS - pride and a sense of achievement at setting up an outstanding risk management function in Asia- Pacific combined with disappointment and angst at how it all ended.   Bank failures are quite rare (although more common than you would imagine!). It is not hard to feel that it was all quite unfair that it ended the way it did. But ultimately, markets maybe cruel but they are not unfair! So it’s important for all of us to shrug off the pain and look forward to new opportunities and challenges. If we were indeed as good as we thought we were, we will surely bounce back strongly! Singapore National Day 1997 to Christmas Day 2023. Interesting bookends to an eventful career with Credit Suisse!

Will we see a non-Wee family member as CEO of UOB in the near future? It's definitely possible. But going by the bold moves by current CEO Wee Ee Cheong in recent years, such as the acquisition of Citi's retail franchise in South-east Asia, that may be some time yet. With the passing of his father, chairman emeritus Wee Cho Yaw, the bank could embark on even more ambitious ventures. As I say in this commentary, @straitstimes, https://lnkd.in/g2RufSif, watch this space.

You have heard of nicknames for people, pets, and prized possessions. But have you heard of a nickname for a bank? Last week, I shared a story on the Feng Shui connection of HSBC. I am back this time with another story about them. Disclaimer - I am not promoting HSBC, neither am I an account holder in it. I am just a quriosity nerd, in front of a LinkedIn audience, sharing posts that may make you go aha with lesser-known stories. Coming back to the nickname, HSBC Bank is locally known as the Lion Bank. “Shizi Yinhang” is the local way of calling it the Lion Bank. But this has got nothing to do with the performance of the bank or the wealth it has. It’s actually named after the two lion sculptures at the entrance of the building that greet the customers. These sculptures were first commissioned in 1923. I read about another local legend that people believed rubbing the paw of the lions would bring them good luck in terms of power and money. As your resident quriosity nerd, here are some amazing things you would perhaps like to know: 1. The inspiration for the lion came from the Arsenal gate in Venice, which had a stone lion. 2. The bronze lions were especially cast in London and then shipped for the inauguration of the new building in 1923. 3. The lions were taken to Japan during the World War 2 and were then rescued and reinstalled. 4. The lions are called Stephen and Stitt, with Stephen on the right and Stitt on the left. They were named after the Chief Manager, Alexander Stephen, and Shanghai Manager, Gordon Stitt. 5. HSBC introduced lion money boxes, which was a savings box for children in the 1970s. They live up to the image of the Lion Bank indeed. HSBC #lions #HSBC #lionbank #Shanghai #fengshui
