HSBC UK chief executive officer Ian Stuart has been announced as one of the key speakers at Money20/20 Europe.

The finance veteran will appear at the conference on 6 June at 1:15pm at the Encore stage to reveal the how HSBC acquired SVB UK following the US bank's shocking collapse.

He will share the insights around how the HSBC UK team worked to structure the deal over one weekend and outline HSBC’s future plans to support the growth ambitions of founders, investors and sponsors in the tech and life sciences sector in what will be a must-attend session at one of Europe's leading FinTech conferences.

Ahead of the conference, Stuart said: “I’m looking forward to telling the inside story of how HSBC moved fast to acquire SVB UK; supporting customers and securing deposits and loans without government financial support. Money20/20 provides a great stage to share some of our thinking behind the deal, and expand on why it’s so important for HSBC to continue to support the start up and the fintech economy in the UK and Europe."

Stuart will appear alongside over 300 other speakers at Money20/20 Europe, including top executives from global banks including Barclays, Deutsche Bank, NatWest and Citi. Money20/20 Europe will also welcome chief executives from the London Stock Exchange, the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, the Regtech Association, the European Banking Authority, and the Israel and German Ministries of Finance to their stages.

Money20/20 Europe is the place where money does business. We can’t wait to open the doors to the RAI Amsterdam Convention Centre on June 6th, fuelling the industry with inspiration, knowledge sharing, genuine in-person connections and so much more."
