HSBC Bank Argentina S.A. was the principal HSBC operating company in Argentina. It was the seventh-largest bank in the country, it provided a full range of banking and financial products and services, including commercial, consumer and corporate banking, to over 1.2 million customers. In April 2024, HSBC reached an agreement to sell its banking operations in Argentina to Banco Galicia. The re-brand process took about 12 months. As a result of the acquisition by Galicia Financial Group, on December 6, 2024, at 7:00 p.m., HSBC Argentina disconnected from the global HSBC Group network and progressively switched to the Galicia Más brand, officially ceasing to exist in Argentina after 32 years of uninterrupted operations in the country.
