"It stands for The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation. I have a question about HSBC's house flag, about the red and white hexagon symbol. Your webpage discussing the company's 150-year history says this part of the original house flag was based on the cross of Saint Andrew. What's the significance of that?"

The interviewer asks this question to determine how much you know about the company. How well you answer this question will ultimately inform them of your work ethic. Most companies are looking for those candidates who are overachievers. So, when answering questions regarding the company's history, most of which can be found on its website, try to go the extra mile and volunteer some other fun information in addition to what was asked.
