Manage your wealth internationally with HSBC. We offer you a choice of locations so you can build a wealth portfolio in multiple jurisdictions, such as Jersey and Singapore - two investment hubs popular with international customers. Speak to our wealth specialists so that you can make an informed decision.

Just a short flight from London and only 14 miles off the coast of France, Jersey is the most southerly of the Channel Islands. Despite its small size, Jersey is one of the world's leading financial centres. It's regulated by the Jersey Financial Services Commission and recognised and rated by some of the world's leading bodies, including the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).

Singapore has fast become one of the leading wealth management hubs across Asia and the globe. It's a popular choice among international investors due to its well-regulated financial system and economic stability. It's also easy for non-residents to open a bank account in Singapore and conduct their business in English. Banks in Singapore are regulated and monitored by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), the country's central bank.
