HSBC CFO Pam Kaur to Step Down in 2027, Become Adviser

HSBC Holdings is preparing for a change in one of its most senior leadership roles, with the group chief financial officer overseeing capital allocation, financial planning and investor communication. The transition carries particular significance as the bank navigates changing interest rates, regulatory demands and the strategic importance of its Asian operations, making continuity in financial leadership a key issue for shareholders.

Pam Kaur is expected to leave the group CFO role before HSBC’s 2027 annual general meeting and then serve as an adviser supporting the group chief executive through the end of 2028. The board has started a succession process covering both internal and external candidates. HSBC has not yet named a replacement or disclosed Kaur’s precise departure date or the financial terms of her advisory role.
