In a chat with Bloomberg, our Group Chief Executive Noel Quinn reflects on our transformation over the last five years and how the changes we've delivered are reflected in our strong profit performance in the first half of 2024. #HSBC #Bloomberg

Today I had the privilege of sharing HSBC’s quarterly financial results with the market for the 21st and final time before I step down as Group Chief Executive in September. The strong set of numbers we’ve released is a reflection of my colleagues’ hard work – not just in the first half of this year, but over the last five years. After everything we’ve done to transform the business, I’m really pleased that the last 18 months in particular have shown what HSBC is truly capable of. I am deeply grateful to – and proud of – our people for all they’ve done to make that happen. They’re an amazing team and I’d like to thank them, as well as our clients, shareholders and investors, for putting their trust in me to lead this great organisation. I can honestly say I’ve loved every minute. I look forward to HSBC’s continued success under Georges’ leadership. Like me, I know he’ll be able to rely on the support of our incredible people – not to mention our iconic lions, Stephen and Stitt, who have stood guard for a century and symbolise growth and prosperity. https://lnkd.in/g6tPV9ui

We delivered a strong profit performance in the first half of 2024 and we’re confident we have the right strategy and model to grow revenue, even in a lower interest rate environment. #HSBC

After delivering record profits in 2023, we had another strong performance in the first half of 2024 – further evidence that our strategy is working. Discover more about our half-year results: https://lnkd.in/e9Mdt6pH #HSBC

As a global bank, we have customers in all corners of the world. We're better when we reflect the diversity of the customers we serve - and to better understand their needs, it helps to speak their language. That’s why it matters to us that we have colleagues representing 168 nationalities and speaking 144 different languages across our workforce. What languages are spoken in your team?

We’re working towards becoming the world’s most digitally accessible bank and want to blaze a trail that others can follow. That’s why we’ve committed to training another 1,000 people outside HSBC in digital accessibility over the next year, following the success of the initiative in 2023. Thanks to our free training, non-HSBC digital professionals from 140 organisations in 100 markets worldwide have already received expert guidance on how to ensure their websites, apps and digital products can be used by everyone.

Following last week’s major IT outage, global cyber security watchdogs are warning people to be wary of scammers trying to exploit the incident. They say fraudsters are pretending to be CrowdStrike, airlines and other organisations offering to help those impacted.    Learn more about common scams being carried out around the world and how to protect yourself: https://lnkd.in/eeKPT9ur #HSBC #FinCrime #CyberSecurity

It’s just three years since we joined forces with #Merky Books 📚 in the UK to create the school event series centred on financial literacy – and it’s already reached more than 10,000 students. #Merky Books was set up by British musician Stormzy to help develop unpublished and under-represented writers ✍️, and this week’s community day in London focused on giving students the tools and inspiration to make the most of their potential. There were interactive sessions and panel discussions on topics such as ‘Starting your career – employed vs self employed’ and ‘How to make your audio book’, and we organised workshops focused on early careers opportunities with us and how to invest to support a healthy financial future. #HSBC #Community
