Project#4.Global Premier Customer: HSBC Bank
The Global Premier Re-Launch Program (HSBC Bank) comprises five Functional Pillars; one of
which is International Services. A key tenet of this pillar is the provision of enhanced Internet
Banking capabilities to selected customers.
These new capabilities comprise four new functional capabilities:
1. Provide single view of account balances with other HSBC entities.
2. Launch a PIB session from another PIB session
3. Link in a PIB system to a ‘primary’ denominated PIB system.
4. Effect me-to-me international transfers.
All new capabilities are to be designed as ‘adjuncts’ to existing PIB systems – in other words the
customer experience is one where the new capabilities appear as an extension to the existing
Internet Banking service rather than a new service for which customers need to register for.
