NEW YORK (Reuters) - The chief of HSBC Holdings’s U.S. retail banking unit said on Monday he would prefer to expand existing businesses, including branches, rather than pay elevated market prices to grow by acquisition.
Martin Glynn, who runs HSBC Bank USA, also said his unit is faring about as well as big U.S. banks in combating the difficult U.S. interest rate environment. The world’s third-biggest bank by assets has avoided major U.S. bank purchases in recent years, unlike such big rivals as Bank of America , JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Wachovia.
Household - HSBC Watch has learned of layoffs within Metris now that HSBC owns the company. Jacksonville Florida and White Marsh Maryland locations of Metris have seen layoffs.
