MCH1 was supporting 7 countries and MCH2 with 5 countries, newly developed MCH3 is having 1 country as Algeria right now but more can be included.

Major benefit for MCH was better batch support, earlier there was a single batch for each country needs to be supported by HSBC GLT, after implementation of multi country hub system there was only 3 batches for MCH1, MCH2 and MCH3 each instead of one batch for each country.
