About the service
Hong Kong has one of the world’s longest life expectancies. Over 30% of our population is aged over 65.
The banking sector has an important role to play in delivering services that cater to elderly customer needs and help them and their families prepare for their financial future.
HSBC is committed to caring for the elderly by promoting ‘age-friendliness’. We have a range of tailored products, services and brochures to ensure that customers of all ages are able to access our banking services, stay vigilant about financial crime and be aware of the legal options available to support them in the years ahead.
