The total number of insured individuals including family members is about 27,700, representing one of the largest insurance mandates by HSBC Group globally. 

Generali through its local Joint Venture Generali China Life has been the main insurance provider of HSBC China also for the period 2015-2017. This agreement is part of the international relationship that HSBC has with the Generali Group in over 30 countries also leveraging on the GEB Network.
