HSBC to restrict commercial payments to and from Russia and Belarus

Move comes as conflict in ukraine has resulted in an 'unprecedented volume of sanctions and trade restrictions' on moscow, the bank says.

HSBC said it has become challenging to operate amid 'complex restrictions' placed on Russia. Reuters

Europe's biggest bank HSBC will restrict commercial payments to and from Russia and Belarus as the West's sanctions net widens amid Moscow's continued war in Ukraine .

“The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has resulted in an unprecedented volume of sanctions and trade restrictions imposed against Russia and Belarus," an HSBC representative said.

"While HSBC has taken multiple steps to comply with applicable regulatory obligations, it has become increasingly challenging to operationalise these complex restrictions globally.

"We have therefore reached the decision to restrict commercial payments by our corporate entity customers to or from Russia and Belarus through HSBC.”

Russia has faced various rounds of western sanctions after its assault on Ukraine, which began in February last year.

The EU, the US and other western partners cut off a number of Russian banks from the Swift global interbank payments system shortly after the invasion of Ukraine.

This restricted the country’s access to financial markets across the world. Swift handles more than five billion financial messages a year, supporting fast and secure cross-border payments, and allowing international trade to flow smoothly.

In July, the US also placed more than 120 companies from Russia on its sanctions blacklist over alleged contributions to the war.

Russian banks, private military groups and energy, shipping and defence businesses were among those listed on new State Department and Treasury Department lists.

The measures are designed to restrict Moscow's access to products that support its military efforts, as well as undermine its energy capabilities, diminish its access to the international financial system and “starve Russia of G7-produced technology”, the Treasury said at the time.

A number of companies closed their operations in Russia last year after sanctions imposed by western countries on Moscow.

In August last year, Citigroup announced plans to wind down its consumer and local commercial banking business in Russia and said it expected to incur about $170 million in costs over the next 18 months.

Putin grants hsbc approval to sell russian unit to expobank.

MOSCOW (Reuters) -Russian President Vladimir Putin gave approval on Monday for HSBC to sell its Russian unit to privately-owned Expobank, paving the way for the British lender to extricate itself from the Russian market after months of negotiations.

HSBC said in June 2022 that it had agreed to sell a 100% stake in the unit, HSBC Bank (RR) LLC, to Expobank. Moscow has steadily tightened restrictions on foreign asset sales since then, with banks requiring Putin's approval for any deal.

HSBC and Expobank did not immediately respond to emailed requests for comment.

The decree raises the prospect of a full exit from Russia for HSBC, whose global business spans China and the United States, just before it is due to present to investors on Wednesday full-year earnings for 2023.

HSBC said last year it had taken a $300 million loss on the expected sale of its Russian business. Moscow demands discounts of at least 50% on foreign asset sales, and Western banks have found it particularly difficult to fully cut ties.

Monday's order said it was allowing Expobank to acquire 100% of the unit, owned by HSBC Europe BV.

The order cited an Aug. 5, 2022 decree signed by Putin, which banned investors from "unfriendly" countries - those that have sanctioned Russia over its actions in Ukraine - from selling shares in key energy projects and banks. That decree gave Putin the power to issue special waivers in certain cases for deals to go ahead.

HSBC, Europe's biggest bank, said in September it would halt commercial payments by business customers to and from Russia and Belarus, with sanctions making it "increasingly challenging" to operate there.

LIMITED IMPACT SEEN

The deal will have a negligible financial impact on HSBC, which has, since announcing its exit from Russia, managed down the size of the already small unit while awaiting approval for the full exit.

HSBC previously told Reuters the Russian unit had revenue of about $15 million, out of a group revenue of more than $50 billion. It employed about 200 people on the eve of the conflict in Ukraine, HSBC's former finance chief Ewen Stevenson said at the time.

Expobank was sanctioned by the United States in December, as part of wide-ranging restrictions aimed at throttling Moscow's energy and financial sectors in the wake of Russia despatching its army to Ukraine in February 2022.

The U.S. Treasury said in December it was imposing sanctions on Expobank "for operating or having operated in the financial services sector of the Russian Federation economy".

The impact of those sanctions on the deal remains to be seen.

The U.S. Treasury Department, which includes the Office of Foreign Assets Control sanctioning unit, did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.

Putin's approval is no guarantee of a successful deal. Italian bank Intesa Sanpaolo secured Putin's approval to sell or dispose of its assets in Russia in September 2023, but has not yet managed to finalise a transaction.
