In order to protect the interests of their customers, strengthen the fight against financial crime and ensure the safety of the financial system in the long term, the regulatory authorities have required banks to strengthen the knowledge of their customers and some of their controls. To comply with these new requirements and in view of its international dimension, HSBC implements the highest standards of control and security.

In the context of the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), a new US regulation that imposes certain obligations on non-US banks on their "US Persons" customers, HSBC will soon be talking to potential customers affected by its implementation.

In addition, in the case of natural persons, as soon as a  collection of real estate  income occurs through these accounts, they must pay social security contributions and, where applicable, an income tax installment. Finally, these accounts must be declared to wealth tax if the relevant holders are liable to it.
