HSBC Bank Malta has reopened its refurbished branch in Msida to provide what it says is a more attractive, comfortable and safer environment for both customers and staff.

The bank is now in the final stages of its Lm10 million programme to refurbish all its buildings up to HSBC Group standards.

The refurbished branch, which was opened by Msida mayor Carmelo Grima and HSBC Malta's chief executive officer Shaun Wallis, is up to the Group's fire and safety standards, including the provision of more than one means of escape, fire doors, fire detection systems, emergency lighting and other sophisticated measures.

Security at the branch has also been greatly upgraded with all cash transactions taking place in a secure, isolated, bullet proof area.

As in all HSBC branches, high definition cameras take still shots and video motion. A digital image management system simultaneously records all images which would provide comprehensive evidence if needed.

"The reopening of our refurbished Msida branch, which provides a full range of banking and financial services to the population of Msida and to many nearby commercial outlets, represents a further milestone in HSBC's programme to renovate its entire network. The bank has invested some Lm10 million in this programme and the quality of work being carried out has been excellent," said Mr Wallis.

The reopening was also attended by HSBC's Valletta area director Alexander Mizzi. The branch was blessed by the parish priest of Msida, Fr Valentino Borg.

Mr Wallis presented a donation to Fr Borg.
