for HSBC with Kong APIOps

w-100

Client Overview

HSBC is one of the world’s largest and most prominent banking and financial services institutions, serving over 39 million customers across 60+ countries. Headquartered in London, the bank offers services in personal banking, corporate finance, global markets, and wealth management. HSBC is committed to driving digital innovation, enhancing cross-border experiences, and supporting sustainable growth through technology modernization.

Business Objective

To support its digital-first strategy, HSBC sought to establish a centralized, secure, and scalable API ecosystem to accelerate product delivery, increase automation, and foster internal API reuse. Their goal was to replace fragmented, team-specific gateways with a standardized API platform to:

  • Process commission data and transaction records in real time
  • Enable faster, more accurate financial forecasting
  • Unify the developer experience for both APIs and UIs
  • Transition to an API-as-a-Product (AaaP) operating model
  • Promote APIs seamlessly across environments with minimal downtime
  • Enforce governance, observability, and security standards across teams
