HSBC Singapore rolls out accelerator programme for SMEs

‘HSBC Pioneer’ runs for 12 months and operates on an invitation-only basis.

HSBC Singapore has launched an exclusive full suite of banking services and tailored solutions to select small and medium enterprises (SMEs), according to a statement.

Operating on a per invitation basis, Pioneer is expected to provide tailored business solutions, flexibility, support and expertise for SMEs who are not able to access banking services often afforded to large multinational firms.

“Pioneer is essentially HSBC’s accelerator programme for promising and ambitious small and medium enterprise enabling them to grow beyond Singapore’s borders and scale new heights.” Ng Li Lian, head of HSBC Singapore’s business banking said in a statement.

Homegrown maker of salted egg yolk chips The Golden Duck is one such SME which will go through the Pioneer programme. The startup claims that it has been able to nab funding to fuel its expansion and production requirements.

“We want to support the drive and commitment these businesses possess and help keep their momentum going. We believe that with additional support, we can help businesses like The Golden Duck, reach their next level of growth,” added Ng.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
