I applied online. I interviewed at HSBC (Hong Kong) in Feb 2016

individual interview
1) business interview, more on technical side, like the financial markets and product knowledge
2) Situational Interview: how to make a better decision in a complex environment
The whole recruitment process of HSBC includes Online Test, Phone Interview, Group Interview, Panel and etc. It could last for a few months. And there would be more than one round. The questions being asked are quite standard and related to the company and bank industry.
