HSBC Access gives ultra-high net worth and family office clients in Singapore access to institutional-grade solutions, investment opportunities and specialist insights.

HSBC Private Bank has launched HSBC Access in Singapore, a proposition designed to give ultra-high net worth and family office clients access to institutional-grade solutions, exclusive investment opportunities and specialist insights.

Eligible clients can access investment opportunities involving high-growth innovation companies through a range of investment structures, the bank said in a statement. This is the first time HSBC Private Bank clients in Singapore have been able to access this type of opportunity since HSBC Innovation Banking launched locally in October 2025 with a $1.5 billion funding pool for high-growth innovation companies.

HSBC Access offers a range of investment opportunities, including venture capital funds, private market and direct investment opportunities, some of which were previously available only to institutional clients. Some of these opportunities are sourced from HSBC's Corporate and Institutional Banking and Innovation Banking businesses.

Singapore is the second market to launch HSBC Access, following its introduction in Hong Kong; it builds on the enhanced entrepreneurial wealth proposition HSBC introduced in Singapore in 2025.

Across Asia, new Private Bank relationships arising from referrals from Corporate and Institutional Banking increased over 50 per cent year-on-year in the first half of 2026, the firm continued.

In addition, HSBC Access provides insights and intelligence from across HSBC's corporate, trade and innovation banking businesses. The proposition also facilitates curated introductions to individuals and businesses, such as founders of technology startups, bolstering HSBC's support for the innovation ecosystem. In Singapore, it complements Innovation Exchange, part of HSBC Private Bank’s enhanced entrepreneurial wealth proposition to connect clients with entrepreneurs and ventures across Asia's innovation economy.

Singapore is an innovation and private capital hub in Asia. According to Startup Genome, the city state is home to more than 4,500 technology startups, over 500 venture capital firms and more than 220 incubators, venture builders and accelerators. It is also a leading family office hub in Asia. Monetary Authority of Singapore figures show that more than 2,000 single family offices had been awarded tax incentives as at the end of 2025. The launch comes as a new generation of wealth owners in Singapore is seeking direct exposure to the companies and founders driving that growth, rather than access through public markets alone.

“Close to two thirds of our private bank clients in Singapore are entrepreneurs, and the wealth they have created is now moving to a generation that thinks about investing differently,” Tommy Leung, head of Private Bank, South Asia, HSBC, said. “Founders and their families want to be close to the companies shaping the innovation economy, not one step removed from it. HSBC Access gives them a direct route into private investment opportunities sourced from across our corporate and innovation banking network, alongside the wealth planning and succession advice that turns business success into a lasting legacy.”

HSBC Innovation Banking is a global proposition, with a presence across core venture capital and innovation hubs: Singapore, India, the US, UK, Australia, New Zealand, Israel, Continental Europe, Hong Kong, and mainland China, are supported by a network of more than 900 internationally-connected sector experts.
