Regulatory approval obtained for new HSBC Chief Risk Officer

Following a previous announcement made by HSBC Bank Malta p.l.c on 22nd September, the bank has now confirmed that regulatory approval has been obtained for Steven Marc Beddow to take on the role of Chief Risk Officer (CRO).

The appointment becomes effective from 7th November.

The new CRO has been working at HSBC for the past two decades, having held roles in the Channel Islands and Isle of Man, Monaco, France, the UK, the US, Mexico, UAE, Canada, and Hong Kong.
