HSBC Bank USA has launched its first integrated premier and business banking center in New York.

The 10,000 square-foot facility features three ATMs, four teller stations, seven meeting rooms, and a premier banking lounge. It is run by a team of 15 staff and 16 on-site business banking professionals. At present, the branch provides foreign language assistance in Mandarin, Cantonese, Spanish, Hindi, Vietnamese, and English.

"The William Street branch is the first HSBC branch in New York specifically designed to maximize global growth opportunities for both premier and business banking clients," said Ashley Parker, the regional president for New York.

The business banking center provides a wide range of services, including commercial loans of up to $5 million, payments and cash management, trade and supply chain, and foreign exchange.
