As one of the world’s leading financial services companies, HSBC is a committed advocate of financial education. Focusing on financial education and homeownership, HSBC’s Center for Consumer Advocacy manages a broad range of programs throughout the country to help consumers improve their understanding of financial concepts and provide them with practical tools to make sound financial decisions. It is important that the Center for Consumer Advocacy remains aware of the financial issues that consumers want and need to know more about. To this end, we regularly commission research studies on various financial topics, with the objective of understanding the financial issues consumers are concerned about. This Portal was developed so that this research can be shared with interested parties.
