At that time, the British banks set up in China were: Macquarie Bank, Favorable Bank, and HSBC. Today, we talk about hsbc's early paper money.
In 1864, under the joint shares of Chinese, British, American, German, Persian and other merchants, HSBC bank was established in Hong Kong, and later the merchants of various countries withdrew their shares one after another and did not play, leaving only the light rod commander of the British, and later, HSBC developed into the capital center of the United Kingdom in China, and the head office set up branches in Hong Kong and China. In order to develop British trade in the East, it also operated China's foreign indemnities, loans, and the custody of customs duties and salt taxes, and gradually formed the main institution of British economic aggression against China.
