Purpose of Department

·  The ServCo Group has been established to meet regulatory rules (the Operational Continuity in Resolution rules (OCiR)) regarding recovery, resolution and ring fencing. Those rules require us to place our critical shared service capability (people, systems, premises, etc.) into a safe haven, i.e. a legal entity structure within the HSBC Group which is separately governed and financially resilient. Structuring ourselves in this way removes operational dependencies between operating banks, and therefore reduces the risk of contagion should any of our banks get into financial difficulties. The ServCo Group therefore is a collection of legal entities which holds that capability and is financed accordingly.
