HSBC Holdings plc is a global banking and financial services company headquartered in Canary Wharf, London, United Kingdom. it is the world's second-largest banking and financial services group and second-largest public company according to a composite measure by Forbes magazine. It has around 7,500 offices in 87 countries and territories across Africa, Asia, Europe, North America and South America and around 100 million customers. As of 30 June 2010, it had total assets of $2.418 trillion, of which roughly half were in Europe, a quarter in the Americas and a quarter in Asia.

HSBC Holdings plc was founded in London in 1991 by The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation to act as a new group holding company and to enable the acquisition of UK-based Midland Bank. The origins of the bank lie in Hong Kong and

Shanghai, where branches were first opened in 1865. Today, HSBC remains the largest bank in Hong Kong, and recent expansion in mainland China, where it is now the largest international bank, has returned it to that part of its roots.

HSBC is a universal bank and is organised within four business groups: Commercial Banking; Global Banking and Markets (investment banking); Personal Financial Services (retail banking); and Private Banking.

HSBC's primary listing is on the London Stock Exchange and it is a constituent of the FTSE 100 Index. It has secondary listings on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (where it is a constituent of the Hang Seng Index), the New York Stock Exchange, Euronext Paris and the Bermuda Stock Exchange. As of August 2010, it was the largest company listed on the London Stock Exchange, with a market capitalisation of £115.8 billion.

Gravação do DVD de Luan Santana com a participação da cantora Belinda! =) Letra: O que é que você viu em mim? No me preguntes porqué no sé! De repente me sentí así, enamorada por ti! Mas a gente pouco se falou, foi coisa tão profissional. Yo concuerdo contigo y creo que eso no es normal! De repente você me liga, diz coisas lindas de amor Eu confesso que adorei, e que foi a primeira vez Que alguém me encantou! Tu manera, tu sonrisa Tu aparencia de niño que me agrada Tu encanto, tu pedido. Y tu voz avergonzada al disculparte Tu timidez me encanta, y te voy a confesar Que el deseo de que me llames me asusta! Seu jeito, seu sorriso Sua forma de menina de me agradar. Seu charme, seu pedido. Sua voz tão constrangida ao se desculpar. Sua timidez me encanta, e eu vou te confessar Que a ânsia de esperar você ligar me assusta!

Compare The Meerkat (comparethemeerkat.com) advert which advertises the price-comparison website, Compare The Market (comparethemarket.com). This is the new shorten advert! Compare The Market.com compares prices on a number of items including car insurance, home insurance, as well as credit cards, loans and mortgages. It aims to give you the cheapest quote from a number of big companies, including the AA, the Post Office and HSBC. The reason for this advert is the constant mis-spelling of Compare The Market, with users inputting Compare The Meerkat instead. The advert features a russian meerkat called Alexsandr (somtimes spelt as Alexander) who is the founder of Compare The Meerkat. He complains about the number of cheaper car insurance requests and plays the jingles for both of them. On his website, you can compare meerkats by size, their favourite hobbies and their location. Certainly one of the best advertising campaigns in recent time. But remember, if you want cheap car insurance, it's CompareTheMarket.com.
