HSBC History Wall, Sydney

Australia

The success of the HSBC Archives Gallery inspired the roll out of a series of History Walls in their offices around the world, including in Sydney, Australia.

Project Details

In March 1865, HSBC opened its doors for business in Hong Kong, helping to finance trade between Europe and Asia. A local bank in Hong Kong subsequently grew into a global financial institution. Leveraging the heritage of the global company with local historical references, we designed a series of History Walls incorporating graphics, objects and audiovisual in offices from Birmingham to Tokyo.

HSBC is one of Australia’s leading international banks offering services across retail, wholesale, private banking, trade finance, treasury and financial markets, global payments solutions, asset management and securities custody. HSBC first established operations in Australia in 1965 and was awarded a commercial licence in 1986. Headquartered in Barangaroo, Sydney HSBC employs more than 2,000 people.
