20 maltatoday | SUNDAY • 7 OCTOBER 2018 COMMERCIAL HSBC Malta launches new international business service HSBC Bank Malta has launched a new service aimed at interna- tional companies that have a presence and operate in Malta. This service is being provided via the bank's International Subsidiary Banking proposi- tion which ensures that HSBC customers worldwide receive the same level of service and a holistic understanding of their business and expansion plans throughout the bank's global network. To be able to service these in- ternational companies, HSBC Malta has set up a specialist team in Malta made up of five dedicated relationship manag- ers and three analysts. This team is able to offer a com- prehensive suite of corporate services, working alongside the bank's Global Markets, Global Trade and Receivables Finance and Global Liquidity and Cash Management product part- ners. "HSBC's Commercial Banking and Global Banking custom- ers can benefit from the bank's global presence spanning across more than 50 territories includ- ing Malta. Corporate customer value from International Sub- sidiary Banking is growing substantially, evidencing the strength of HSBC's global net- work," said Michel Cordina, Head of Commercial Banking of HSBC Malta. The team is led by Nicholas Elias, who previously worked in Corporate Banking with HSBC in London, and who reports di- rectly to Michel Cordina. "The International Subsidi- ary Banking team in Malta has been set up as part of the global proposition aimed at servicing such clients. We serve and sup- port our international business customers to the highest stand- ards by leveraging local and international expertise whilst working with our internal product providers. We provide dedicated relationship manage- ment which allows us to gain a meaningful understanding of our clients' businesses and the industries within which they operate," said Nicholas Elias, HSBC Malta's Head of Interna- tional Business. "We are proud to be part of the HSBC International Sub- sidiary Banking proposition and to actively help promote Malta to our international cus- tomers as an attractive location for expansion," he added. GAMING on one's phone, or mobile gaming excluding mobile consoles, isn't completely recog- nised by the local community as being on the same level as PC or console gaming - perhaps due to the lack of competitive options for 'mobile gamers' as they're called. Red Bull M.E.O. by ESL is ready to convince the esports community that our phones are ready for eSports. Red Bull Mobile Esports Open featuring the mobile gaming phenomenon of Clash Royale is an official ESL tournament. Of- fering the chance to a total of 36 countries from across the world, qualifiers will distill nationwide talent into a select few who will battle it out at the grand finals in Germany – a representative from each country taking to the stage. Who will fly the Maltese flag in the World Finals? Clash Royale is a strategic mo- bile game in which players en- gage in 1on1 face-offs. The title combines elements from tower defense and card games; quickly rocketing into the charts on mo- bile play store up to the point, where ESL is ready to take the next step. There's still a month until the first qualifiers in Mal- ta, so if you're interested, you've got the time to acquaint yourself with the game which is accessi- ble on any mobile play store. In order to get involved in this inaugural season of inter- national Clash Royale you have to be a registered player on the ESL Play platform, of at least 16 years of age and have valid travel documents. You're only allowed to participate in one country's qualifier - so if you're Maltese, then it's Malta's that you're in- terested in. The Maltese Online Qualification will take place on 9th November.
