HSBC Reportedly to Offload Local Retail Bank HSBC Holdings plc (LSE:HSBA) is believed to be just days away from releasing documents into the market for a sale of its Australian retail banking arm, according to sources, which suggest that the business could sell for a price in the billions of dollars. Speculation surfaced at the beginning of the year that HSBC was planning a sale out of Australia, and a move would be consistent with recent strategic moves elsewhere around the global. Sources have suggested that the business had about $40 billion of loans and about $30 billion of deposits, and the talk in the market is that at least three of the top four local banks will take a look at the business - National Australia Bank Limited (ASX:NAB), Westpac Banking Corporation (ASX:WBC) and ANZ Group Holdings Limited (ASX:ANZ). Much of its value would depend on the quality of its funding, but market experts believe a sale would be in the billions of dollars. Some say Westpac could be the most likely to bid for the business, while Australian listed financial services operator AMP, which is tipped to be weighing up future options for its bank, may also make an offer.
