HSBC Holdings plc has issued a formal notice of redemption to fully redeem its US$2,500,000,000 2.251% Fixed Rate/Floating Rate Senior Unsecured Notes due 2027. The Par Redemption is scheduled for 22 November 2026 at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount ($1,000 per $1,000 principal amount) plus accrued and unpaid interest from 22 May 2026 to the redemption date. Because 22 November 2026 is a non-business day, payments will be disbursed on the next business day, Monday, 23 November 2026, to holders of record as of 7 November 2026. This exercise represents routine balance-sheet liability management and debt refinancing ahead of the notes' stated 2027 maturity.
Banks Block AI Agents; Revolut Launches UK Loans
Major US banks including JPMorgan, Bank of America, Citi, Wells Fargo, Morgan Stanley, and Schwab have restricted AI agents that log into customer accounts with shared passwords since mid-October, citing security concerns. Customers sharing credentials may lose fraud protection under Regulation E. Banks are developing their own agents and negotiating official access routes, potentially charging fees. Separately, Revolut has launched its first UK loans, offering £2,000 to £25,000 at rates between 6.9% and 29.3%, aiming to keep loan-to-deposit ratio around 6% and sell risk via securitisation. This move is part of a broader strategy to expand lending while managing valuation.
