Credit Suisse

Credit Suisse is one of the few private banks that consistently creates red packets based on the Chinese zodiac animal of the year, allowing for its clients to collect a set of 12 over a full cycle.

In 2023, it is keeping the tradition alive with the design of a rabbit using a customized print effect for textured fur placed against a background of a Chinese garden landscape and fireworks, gilded in gold. Its premium version includes red packets with enhanced print effects and velvet-like paper presented in a box set with a pouch.

HSBC Global Private Banking

At HSBC's private banking arm, its red packet design this year contains the koi as a symbol of elegance, tranquillity and good fortune, alongside the peony, also known as the «king of flowers». In addition to a woven pouch, the envelopes come with a simple and sleek box that features a stylized version of HSBC’s iconic hexagon logo.
