HSBC Holdings Plc, the new owner of Silicon Valley Bank’s UK unit, is planning
to inject ￡2 billion ($2.4 billion) of liquidity into the division.
Chief Executive Officer Noel Quinn and Ian Stuart, the head of HSBC UK, told Lon
don tech investors on a call Monday that the bank would commit billions of pound
s to ensure that business-as-usual continued at SVB UK.
A spokesperson for the bank confirmed the amount.
HSBC’s UK-based ring-fenced subsidiary bought the unit for ￡1 on Monday, accor
ding to a statement. It said the deal will be funded from existing resources.
Quinn described the acquisition as making “strategic sense” and would improve
the bank’s standing in the technology and life-sciences sectors.

SBV was a critical lender and service provider to a range of tech companies in b
oth the US and UK.
Quinn and Stuart indicated on the call that there wouldn’t be major changes to
how SVB UK is run, according to Suzanne Ashman, general partner at LocalGlobe, a
London-based venture investment firm. “We were hugely reassured,” she said.
“They don’t want to lose the DNA of what they bought.”
The bank didn’t clarify whether it would run its new acquisition as a standalon
e division or keep the SVB brand. The unit had loans of around ￡5.5 billion ($6
.7 billion) and deposits of around ￡6.7 billion as of March 10, according to HS
BC’s statement.
心得/評論：
滙豐預計注入20億英鎊流動資產到以SVB UK，這家以象徵性1英鎊收購的銀行
所以並不是板友說的，有1英鎊就有能力買下啦
而目前滙豐也尚未決定是否繼續保留SVB UK的實體來成為其子公司。
除此之外，本次收購更受到英國政府「豁免」圍欄政策的限制
看來英國對目前金融局面的態度，比美國還積極，連規則都可以選擇直接打破
