HSBC Continental Europe, Greece

HSBC Continental Europe, Greece is the Greek branch of HSBC Continental Europe S.A., the group’s EU banking subsidiary headquartered in France. The branch focuses on corporate, institutional, and select wealth clients, offering cash management, trade finance, corporate lending, foreign exchange and rates, and securities services including custody, while providing access to the wider group’s international network subject to local regulation. It operates in euro and supports SEPA payments. The entity operates in Greece under EU passporting, with prudential supervision at the home level by the European Central Bank in conjunction with the French Prudential Supervision and Resolution Authority (ACPR); conduct and certain local requirements are overseen in Greece by the Bank of Greece and, for investment services, the Hellenic Capital Market Commission. Deposits and eligible instruments at the Greek branch fall under France’s Fonds de Garantie des Dépôts et de Résolution (FGDR) rather than the Hellenic Deposit and Investment Guarantee Fund, subject to statutory limits and conditions. Onboarding typically targets firms with cross‑border needs and entails enhanced documentation under EU AML/KYC standards. Service delivery relies on relationship management and online channels, and the local physical presence is limited. Product scope, eligibility criteria, and pricing are defined by the bank’s current policies and should be confirmed directly with HSBC.
