Founded in 1865, HSBC is one of the world’s largest banking and financial services organisations. HSBC was born from one simple idea – a local bank serving international needs. In March 1865, HSBC opened its doors for business in Hong Kong, helping to finance trade between Europe and Asia.
HSBC has been supporting customers for over 160 years and today serves customers worldwide from offices in 57 countries and territories. HSBC opened its first branch in Singapore in 1877. One of the earliest banks to establish in Singapore, HSBC is today a prominent player in the country’s financial services sector, offering a comprehensive range of banking and financial services to meet the needs of its customers.
HSBC has a long-term commitment to golf, supporting the game across markets at every level, from grassroots initiatives through to elite competition. HSBC has been proud title partner of the HSBC Women’s World Championship in Singapore since 2008. Known as ‘Asia’s Major’, the tournament brings a world-class field to the global hub of Singapore each year. Alongside the Championship, HSBC also supports the development of the next generation through youth and grassroots programmes, including in Singapore via its partnership with the Singapore Golf Association (SGA) and the HSBC Youth Golf Challenge (HYGC). We’re there, where the game grows.
Singapore sets the stage for the best of women’s golf as the HSBC Women’s World Championship brings together an elite field from more than 20 countries worldwide, competing for one of the most prestigious titles in women’s golf at Sentosa Golf Club.

The Open Championship – Patron
HSBC is a Patron of The Open Championship, one of the world’s preeminent golf tournaments and one of the four golfing Majors.
Our partnership with The Royal & Ancient forms the centrepiece of HSBC’s global golf portfolio. Based in St Andrews, The R&A is golf’s governing body (excluding the USA and Mexico) and the organiser of The Open Championship. The R&A acts on behalf of over 30 million golfers in 126 countries, with the consent of 141 organisations from the amateur and professional game.
In conjunction with The R&A, HSBC has partnered with The Golf Foundation in the UK to sponsor the HSBC Golf Roots programme. This is now the largest and most successful junior golf development project in the British Isles. It targets potential players in urban and inner city areas and uses golf as a basis to foster ‘Skills for Life’, such as honesty and respect.
The Golf Foundation is a registered charity that aims to make it possible for all children and young people to access the sport regardless of their background or circumstance. It aims to reach one million children per year through the programme.
