HSBC Singapore officially opened its new head office at Marina Bay Financial Centre Tower 2 (MBFC) today (14 November).
HSBC's group chief executive, Noel Quinn, was joined by Singapore's deputy prime minister, Heng Swee Keat, to officiate the opening ceremony and celebrate this important milestone alongside HSBC Singapore CEO, Wong Kee Joo.
HSBC Singapore's new head office includes over 140,000 sq ft of space over the top floors of the 50-storey MBFC Tower 2 building, complementing its offices at Mapletree Business City.
It also incorporates design elements to minimise energy consumption and carbon emissions. The new premises are modern, digitally-enabled and support new hybrid ways of working for HSBC's 4,000-strong local workforce.
Quinn said: "Singapore is one of the pillars of HSBC's growth strategy in Asia, and the move to Marina Bay Financial Centre reflects our ambitions for our business.
"My colleagues in HSBC Singapore are key to delivering these ambitions, so we will leverage Singapore's strengths as a regional hub for wealth, treasury management, innovation and sustainability to build their future skills and to serve our customers' present and future needs."
Wong Kee Joo said: "Our new headquarters at Marina Bay Financial Centre underscores HSBC's commitment to Singapore. Since we established our presence here in 1877, our purpose has always been to help our customers capture domestic and cross border opportunities.
"With the rise of the digital economy and transition to net zero, HSBC is uniquely placed to connect customers to these opportunities across Southeast Asia and to the rest of the world."
