Trade and Supply Chain

What is it?

The Trade Services (TSC) team in HSBC Mauritius provides a range of services that support the requirements of our Commercial Banking and Global Banking customers in their trade processes.

We service both the Domestic and Global Business (now known as the “offshore”) market. Our staff are well equipped to ensure that the import and export transactions are managed effortlessly and effectively, providing our customers with the best possible opportunities to grow. Moreover, we are well placed between the Asia-Pacific countries and Africa and have Trade treaties with countries in both of these regions.

At HSBC, we make it our business to know the requirements of our customers intimately and thoroughly so that we can give them the best possible package. We understand that by putting our customers’ interests first, we too are rewarded and able to shine. It is this kind of win-win situation that has helped us and our other ASP Trade colleagues to secure a run of best trade finance bank awards from Global Finance (2002-2006), The Asset (2003-2006), Cargonews Asia (2003-2006), Trade Finance (2004-2006), Asiamoney (2004), Trade & Forfaiting Review (2004-2005) and FinanceAsia (1997-2005), a title we are proud to have won for nine consecutive years.
