Link isn't working, but I saw that.

Wow, glad I didn't list nation of origin, because I thought HSBC was German.  But then, considering the level of corruption about, likes to the UK would make sense here.

You'd probably have been even more confused if you knew what HBSC sood for.

"The Hongkong Shanghai Banking Company."

Though the name does probably clear up why it's british.
