About HSBC Trinkaus & Burkhardt GmbH

HSBC Trinkaus & Burkhardt GmbH is a German bank based in Düsseldorf and a wholly owned subsidiary of the HSBC Group operating under the HSBC Germany brand. Its origins date to 1785 as Bankhaus Trinkaus & Burkhardt; after the squeeze-out of minority shareholders it transitioned from an AG into a GmbH. The bank holds a full German banking license and is supervised by BaFin and the Deutsche Bundesbank. Its activities are geared primarily to corporate and institutional clients, offering transaction banking (cash management, domestic and cross-border payments via EBICS and SWIFT, trade and supply chain finance), lending, capital markets and markets execution (foreign exchange, rates, equities, debt capital markets), and securities services (custody, clearing and settlement, and depositary services for investment funds); it also provides private banking and wealth management for high-net-worth clients rather than mass retail. Distribution combines relationship coverage with digital channels, including HSBCnet and host-to-host connectivity, with pricing and credit determined case by case under applicable EU and German rules such as CRR/CRD and MiFID II. Eligible deposits are protected by the German statutory deposit guarantee scheme up to the legal limit per depositor and per bank, and the institution participates in the Association of German Banks’ voluntary deposit protection fund; conditions and coverage of the voluntary scheme are subject to change and vary by client category. The bank maintains offices in major German cities and connects to HSBC’s international infrastructure for execution and settlement, while standard consumer products and branch-based retail services are not a core focus. Potential clients should review current product terms, risk disclosures, fees, and deposit protection details as published by the bank and the relevant schemes.
