This page does not give any information that is not included in the HSBC wiki. Why was the redirect removed??? novacatz 10:14, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
I think this page should be under this title
http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Hong_Kong_and_Shanghai_Banking_Corporation&redirect=no
but I do not know how to do the move. Can someone help me with it? novacatz 04:03, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
The English on this page is terrible. Fixing.

I note that the "Honkers and Shankers" name is documented (does anybody still call it that?) but not "Wayfoong" which has been in use by the Chinese community since the earliest dayys of the bank, being the articulation of the chinese characters meaning "Abundant Remittances" (according to the history of the same name by Maurice Collis published in 1965). The characters first appeared on the bank's notes in 1881. Kirrages 12:55, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
I'm pretty sure this page shouldn't have been moved from Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, as per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (definite and indefinite articles at beginning of name). Unless someone can come up with a good reason to ignore that guideline I'm going to move it back. -- DeLarge 15:48, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

The image File:Hong Kong HSBC 20 dollar.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

The following statement is not correct:
HSBC established its Shanghai branch office on 3 March 1865 and has had a continuous presence in the city[12] since then, except during the Japanese Occupation. Until the economic reforms of the late 1970s, its activities were mainly in inward remittances and export bills, however its activities now span a wider range.
The Shanghai branch was not opened on 3 March 1865. Actually the Hongkong branch was opened on that day. The Shanghai branch was opened on 3 April 1865 instead. And the remaining part of this statement is completely wrong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.112.82.128 ( talk) 03:08, 8 August 2013 (UTC)
