HSBC said in its annual report on Monday it had
paid restitution to some U.S. customers in connection to debt
protection and other products offered before May 2012.
It said additional remediation for this issue "may lie in a
range from zero to an amount up to $500 million."
HSBC paid $611 million to U.S. and UK authorities in November
when it was one of six banks fined for alleged manipulation of
FX markets.
U.S., UK and other authorities are still investigating the issue
and the bank had $550 million provisioned at the end of
December, its annual report said.
