HSBC Malaysia is enhancing its wealth management services with the launch of its new Wealth Academy, which aims to elevate the role of its relationship managers, wealth managers and product specialists.
Launched in July, the establishment of the Wealth Academy is aligned with the bank’s aspiration of being the international bank of choice for affluent customers, supporting their domestic and international banking and holistic wealth management needs.
To achieve this, the bank recognises that empowering its frontline with the right skills and expertise is its greatest strength in leading the way forward.
The HSBC Wealth Academy reflects the bank’s commitment to nurturing talent and fostering a culture of continuous learning and excellence, which in turn will transform its wealth teams to offer a seamless experience in supporting clients to manage their wealth and meet financial goals.
It offers a multi-channel learning approach, which combines on-demand, virtual learning with workshops and face-to-face sessions that will support engagement and appeal to different learning preferences.
On top of the bank’s internal learning capabilities, the academy features workshops through partnerships with leading financial education partners, international academic institutions and industry experts.
Participants who have displayed exceptional skills and qualities in their roles will ascend to the Wealth Excellence Aspirational programme.
Through this programme, these outstanding individuals will have the opportunity to attend a role-specific Wealth Excellence Course from a global leader in financial education, partake in HSBC’s Regional Wealth Symposium and obtain a certification from a globally renowned business school, providing them with opportunities for growth and recognition.
HSBC Malaysia international wealth and premier banking country head Linda Yip said, “We are committed to constructing a comprehensive career pathway that supports our employees at all stages of their career in supporting our clients’ wealth management needs.
“This pathway emphasises the enhancement of knowledge, the refinement of skills and the improvement of performance, ensuring that they are well-equipped to excel in their roles and contribute meaningfully to HSBC Malaysia’s position as a leading international bank and wealth manager.”
Wealth Academy participants, who have displayed exceptional skills and qualities, will have the opportunity to attend special courses and obtain certification from a globally renowned business school.
The launch of the academy complements HSBC’s wealth proposition in Malaysia as the wealth continuum in the country continues to grow.
In March last year, HSBC Malaysia launched Premier Elite, an elevated service for high-net-worth individuals that offers bespoke structured investments, dedicated bond services, wealth and legacy preservation, international banking services and privileged elite concierge services offered by the bank’s partners.
This was followed by the opening of HSBC Malaysia’s flagship wealth centre in the Tun Razak Exchange in January this year.
“Malaysia’s prominence as a rising wealth hub has driven a growing demand for wealth management services, and this has evolved into a preference for bespoke and sophisticated investment and protection solutions, especially among the high-net-worth segment,” said Yip.
“To meet the evolving needs of this segment, relationship managers, wealth managers and product specialists need to be agile and equipped with the tools and skillsets to help our clients grow and preserve their wealth, and this is where we will leverage our Wealth Academy to support our employees to unlock their maximum potential.”
HSBC was recently recognised as the Best International Bank in Malaysia by financial publication Euromoney, and the Best Wealth Manager at The Asset Triple A Private Capital Awards 2025.
