Company Background

Hang Seng Bank is a major local bank in Hong Kong and a member of the U.K.'s HSBC group.

Hang Seng has a strong presence in Hong Kong's retail banking sector, with more than 240 branches and numerous ATMs set up at MTR stations and shopping malls. More than half of Hong Kong's adult population is said to have an account at Hang Seng Bank.

The bank established a subsidiary in mainland China in 2007 and operates some 50 branches in such cities as Shanghai and Beijing. It plans to focus on selling financial products, such as investment trusts and insurance.

Hang Seng Bank started as a money exchanger in 1933 and was once the largest Chinese-capitalized bank in Hong Kong. But the plunge of the real estate and stock markets in Hong Kong in 1965 triggered a run on the bank. As a result, it eventually went under Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corp. umbrella.

Currently, Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corp. owns roughly 60% of Hang Seng Bank. The two entities work together closely in many ways, such as sharing ATMs.

The Hang Seng Index, introduced in 1969, is considered Hong Kong's benchmark stock index.

Hang Seng Bank Vice-Chairman and CEO Rose Lee Wai-mun has held key posts at HSBC's Hong Kong division.
