The tournament - to be staged at Emeralda Golf Club on March 2-5 - will now be known as the Enjoy Jakarta HSBC Indonesia Open 2006.
"The Enjoy Jakarta HSBC Indonesia Open represents another significant investment in golf by HSBC," said Richard McHowat, chief executive officer of HSBC Indonesia.
"As the world's most international bank, it is fitting that we are involved in a sport with truly global appeal.
"Golf is well established in developed markets and suits the tastes and lifestyles of many HSBC customers. And it is a booming and aspirational sport in regions like Asia, where our Group was founded, and which remains crucial to our business."
Keld Kristiansen, managing director of event promoter Parallel Media Asia (PMA), said: "Sponsorship is the lifeblood of sport these days and to have a major global company like HSBC so closely involved is a massive boost for the tournament," he said.
The tournament will continue to be co-sanctioned by the European and Asian Tours as well as the Indonesian Golf Association.
It will once again be promoted by PMA, Asia's biggest golf promoter and a prime mover in resurrecting the event in 2005 after it had been dormant for several years.
