[Hong Kong Monetary Authority: Banking Sector Has Implemented Latest Regulatory Requirements to Ensure Account Opening Processes Are Compliant and Orderly] BlockBeats News, June 6, according to a report by the Hong Kong Radio website, a spokesperson for the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) stated that Hong Kong regulators have maintained close and regular communication with mainland regulators. In response to the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) circular requiring brokers to take additional measures for the opening and management of mainland investors' accounts, the HKMA has also required banks to adopt similarly high business standards as the SFC. The spokesperson noted that the banking sector has already implemented the latest regulatory requirements outlined in the HKMA's circular to ensure that account opening processes are compliant and orderly. The HKMA emphasized that Hong Kong banks have always had rigorous account opening procedures in place to ensure business compliance and orderly operations, which are part of regular regulatory requirements. Mainland residents can allocate assets and invest in eligible financial products through various legitimate cross-border investment channels, including the Cross-boundary Wealth Management Connect, or invest via mainland brokers through the 'Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect' and 'Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect' programs.
