Hong Kong Monetary Authority Confirms Mainland Customers Can Still Open Bank Accounts, Requires Three-Month Compliance Review by May 22

According to the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, mainland customers can continue to apply for Hong Kong bank accounts normally. On May 22, the regulatory authority issued a directive requiring banks to adopt higher business standards aligned with Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission requirements for securities firms. Mainland residents opening new investment accounts in Hong Kong must provide written declarations confirming that all funds for investment and settlement originate from outside mainland China. All registered institutions must complete a comprehensive review of account records established since January 2023 within three months of the directive's issuance.
