Leli bhange elizinze e-UK kuthiwa lisize ngokushushumbisa imali yezinkampani ezidayisa izidakamizwa kanye namazwe ngaphansi konswinyo lwaseMelika.
Ngasekuqaleni konyaka i-HSBC yavuma ukuthi inezimo ezingezinhle zokulawula ukushushumbiswa kwemali kulandela uphenyo lweSigele saseMelika.
Ngenyanga edlule imemezele ukuthi isibeke eceleni u-$1.5bn ukuze ibhekane nezindleko zanoma yikuphi ukukhokhelwa noma izinhlawulo.
“Siyakwamukela ukubophezeleka ngamaphutha ethu esikhathi esidlule,” kusho isikhulu esiphezulu seqembu le-HSBC uStuart Gulliver.
"Sithe siyabadabukela kakhulu, futhi siyaphinda futhi."
Ibhange lithe selisebenzise u-$290m ekuthuthukiseni izinhlelo zalo ukuze kugwenywe ukuxhashazwa kwemali futhi laphinde labuyisa amanye amabhonasi ayekhokhelwa izikhulu eziphezulu esikhathini esidlule.
Lezi zindaba zilandele isimemezelo sesivumelwano esifanayo kodwa esincane kakhulu nebhange elizinze e-UK, i-Standard Chartered, elizokhokha inhlawulo engu-$300m ngokwephula unswinyo lwaseMelika.
Amacala athathwa njengengxenye yomkhankaso wokulwa nokushushumbiswa kwemali kanye nokwephulwa kwezijeziso eziholwa yizinhlangano zikahulumeni wobumbano kanye neziphathimandla zezwe laseNew York.
Ukushushumbiswa kwemali kuwuhlelo lokufihla imali etholakala ngobugebengu ukuze imali ingahlangani nokwenza okubi.
Ukugxekwa kweSigele
Lokhu kuxazululwa kwamacala bekulindeleke kakhulu kulandela umbiko weSigele saseMelika, owashicilelwa ngasekuqaleni konyaka, owawugxeka kakhulu ukulawulwa kokushushumbiswa kwemali kwe-HSBC.
Umbiko uphakamise ukuthi ama-akhawunti e-HSBC eMexico nase-US asetshenziswa osomabhizinisi bezidakamizwa ukwenza imali ngokungemthetho.
Icaphune izibonelo ezihlanganisa ukudluliswa kuka-$7bn phakathi kwezinkampani ezingaphansi kwe-HSBC zaseMexico nase-US phakathi kuka-2007 no-2008, okwenziwe naphezu kokwaziwa kwe-Mexico njengesikhungo sokushushumbisa izidakamizwa.
Iphinde yathi i-HSBC ivame ukweqa imingcele ekusebenzelaneni ne-Iran, North Korea, nezinye izifundazwe ezingaphansi kwe unswinyo lwaseMelika.
I-HSBC ivumile ukuthi izilawuli zayo zokushushumbiswa kwemali bezingaqinile ngokwanele kulandela umbiko weSenethi.
NgoLwesibili, inhlangano yamazwe ngamazwe ezinze eLondon imemezele ukuthi isiqoke owayeyisikhulu saseMelika ukuthi asebenze njengenhloko yokuhambisana nobugebengu bezezimali - isikhundla esisha.
U-Bob Werner phambilini wayeyinhloko yeHhovisi Lomgcinimafa WaseMelika Lokulawulwa Kwempahla Yangaphandle (OFAC) - i-ejensi enesibopho sokuphoqelela unswinyo lwaseMelika emazweni ahlanganisa ne-Iran.
Uzoba nesibopho sokuqinisa izinhlelo ze-HSBC zokulwa nokushushumbiswa kwemali kanye nezinhlelo zokuthobela unswinyo.
Akukacaci ukuthi leli cala lizoba nomthelela muni ebhizinisini le-HSBC. Ibhange likhulu kunawo wonke eYurophu ngokusetshenziswa kwemali ezimakethe, futhi lenze inzuzo yangaphambi kwentela engu-$12.7bn ezinyangeni eziyisithupha zokuqala zika-2012.
