Guests traveled through HSBC Premier’s key pillars – Health, Travel, International and Wealth – experiencing each world pillar in thoughtfully curated spaces at the Dusit Thani Grand Ballroom to immerse into what HSBC Premier is all about. From health reflex activities to represent health, to a curated photo area of dream destinations and a Travel Card hologram, to looking at the immersive “Wall Alive” installation highlighting key benefits of HSBC Premier showcasing it’s international capability through Global View and Global Transfers, as well as exploring the world of wealth through an interactive table board highlighting key benefits followed by wealth discussions with HSBC relationship managers to further explore opportunities.
“At HSBC Premier, we are continually looking at ways to bring customers best-in-class products, best-in-class service, curated travel and lifestyle benefits, and borderless banking,” said Pramoth Rajendran, HSBC Philippines Head of International Wealth and Premier Banking. “It is defined by the freedom to grow, explore, protect what matters most, and most importantly, the freedom to belong anywhere in the world.”
Bringing Global Banking Opportunities Closer to Davao
As part of this new chapter, HSBC Philippines also recently opened its new home in Davao at the ground floor of Ayala Malls Abreeza, bringing international banking closer to Davao’s growing community of professionals, entrepreneurs, and globally connected families.
Originally opened in December 2006, the Davao branch has served as HSBC Philippines’ gateway to opportunities across the Mindanao region for almost 20 years. The refreshed branch reflects the bank’s continued confidence in Davao’s growth as an increasingly dynamic economic and business hub in the country.
“Davao is a city that keeps moving forward – full of ambition, enterprise and opportunity – and we are proud to be part of the growth journey of our customers as we connect them to global investment and wealth opportunities,” said HSBC Philippines CEO and Head of Banking Sandeep Uppal.
With over 150 years of presence in the Philippines, HSBC continues to strengthen its commitment to helping clients in the Philippines navigate an increasingly connected world through global expertise, trusted relationships, and banking designed to move at the speed of modern life
