Unclassified APNIC
Summary
HSBC Mexico
enterprise legacy
AS6495 is registered to HSBC México, S.A., Institución de Banca Múltiple, Grupo Financiero HSBC — the Mexican banking arm of HSBC, with its registered address on Paseo de la Reforma in Mexico City.
What it's used for
- The bank's own corporate and branch network: internal systems, customer-facing banking services, and the bank's public presence in Mexico.
- Announces around 3,500 IPv4 addresses out of
200.16.32.0/19and adjacent LACNIC space.
Notable
- Reverse DNS for the address space is delegated to HSBC's own global nameservers (
ns1.hsbc.us,ns20.hsbc.uk), which is the clearest signal that this is a bank running its own enterprise network rather than anything hosted or resold. - This is one of the few low-numbered ASNs administered by LACNIC; it was transferred into the Latin American registry from the original ARIN-era records, and ARIN still lists the number as
LACNIC-6495.
Interesting
- The ASN was registered in 1996 and the
/19in 1994, both predating HSBC's arrival in the Mexican market — the bank entered Mexico in 2002 through its acquisition of Grupo Financiero Bital, so the number and its address space were inherited rather than newly requested.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 431 networks and 1,768 prefixes, as published 2026-10-12. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
