Doing business in Australia

Australia is an attractive place to do business due to political stability, a transparent legal system and a welcoming attitude towards foreign investment across a wide variety of sectors and assets. As a world leader in championing free trade with Free Trade Agreements with our major trading partners⁴ and the strongest trade links with Asia of any OECD country⁵.

HSBC has operated in Australia for over 50 years and has corporate offices in 5 cities across the country. Our International Subsidiary Banking (ISB) business provides a consistent global banking experience to our clients.
