HSBC Bank USA N.A. -- now focusing on commercial and international banking -- has launched a website geared toward U.S. companies involved in international business.

“Business without Borders” is billed as a “knowledge exchange” tool that offers industry-specific articles and commentary about global business. It includes content from The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg Master Class and The Economist Intelligence Unit.

Beyond articles, it also allows business leaders to track global trade trends and identify the most promising locations for international expansion. Certain information is available to those who register as members of the site.

HSBC, the largest bank in Western New York, announced July 31 that it will sell 195 retail branches in Upstate New York to First Niagara Financial Group Inc. for $1 billion in cash. The deal is expected to close early next year.

HSBC has said that it plans to maintain its presence in the region through its commercial and international banking business. It is currently renovating the HSBC Atrium in downtown Buffalo and could employ up to 2,000 people there.

The new web site is available at www.businesswithoutborders.com.
