Sometimes size really does matter, and when it comes to corporates, HSBC has plenty of it. The bank serves over 2 million small and medium firms around the world. On top of that it has about 54,000 complex international clients, of which some 7,500 it designates as large corporates. For this last group it has dedicated coverage teams with a global relationship banker as the single point of contact.
