HSBC is a British bank with most of the profits being made in Asia (specifically Hong Kong). They may be selling off their unprofitable subsidiaries but the UK operations are pretty stable.
Funnily that's where their name comes from - Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited, HSBC for short (it's now the official name, HSBC does no longer stand for anything, probably to lessen the obvious imperialistic past in it's name).
