Notification: Launch of Hong Kong Investor Identification Regime (“HKIDR”)
Dear Customers,
We would like to draw your attention to below notification requirements in respect of the Hong Kong Investor Identification Regime (“HKIDR”) to be launched tentatively in the later part of Q4 2022 at the earliest and the Over-the-counter Securities Transaction Reporting Regime (“OTCR”) in the later part of Q2 2023 at the earliest.
Please refer to diagram on the right side for action required for each customer type.
Please refer to the following for further details about the requirements of the HKIDR and OTCR:
1) Under the HKIDR, the Bank will assign a unique Broker-Client Assigned Number
("BCAN") to each Brokerage client so as to enable the Bank to provide to the same to the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong ("SEHK") together with their Client Identification Data ("CID"), including client’s Full Name, ID Issuing Country/Region or Jurisdiction, ID Type & ID Number shown in the identification document for processing their securities orders.
In addition, the Bank will also submit the client’s CID in respect of transfer of shares in connection with an OTC Securities Transaction or deposit/withdrawal of a physical share certificate relating to ordinary shares of a company, or units of a REIT, listed in SEHK for reporting to the SFC under the OTCR.
2) According to the requirements of the SFC, clients should know and understand the list of priority of the identity documents and provide an identity document required under the list (if not already provided) or updated identity document information, as appropriate, in order to comply with the requirements of HKIDR and OTCR.
3) CID of clients should be collected from the identity document which is first mentioned in
the list below save that where the clients do not hold such document, the next mentioned
document should be used and so forth. For example, corporate clients with legal entity
identifier (“LEI”) should provide their LEI registration document to us.
(i) For an individual client’s order of priority:
(1) HKID card;
(2) National Identification Document; or
(3) Passport1
(ii) For a corporate client's order of priority:
(1) Legal Entity Identifier "LEI" Registration Document;
(2) Certificate of Incorporation;
(3) Business Registration Certificate; or
(4) Other equivalent Identity Documents
(iii) For a client that is a trust: the trustee’s information and priority as in (i) or (ii) above (as the case may be). However, in the case of a trust which is an investment
fund, CID of the asset management company or the individual fund, as appropriate, which has opened a trading account with the Bank should be obtained.
4) Please note that failure or refusal to provide the CID in accordance with the order of priority may mean that the Bank will not, or will no longer be able to, as the case may be, carry out your trading instructions or provide you with securities related services (other than to sell, transfer out or withdraw your existing holdings of securities, if any) upon implementation of the HKIDR and OTCR.
1 Note: Exit-entry Permit for Travelling to and from Hong Kong and Macao, Permit for Proceeding to Hong Kong and Macao and HKSAR Document of Identity for Visa Purposes are not accepted
5) Clients are deemed to have warranted and represented to the Bank that all account
information (including CID) provided to the Bank is valid, true, complete, accurate and upto-date. Clients should promptly notify the Bank of any material change to their CID or other information, and/or higher priority change of their identity document. For the avoidance of doubt, the Clients are also deemed to have given consent to the Bank to disclose such changes to their CID or other information, and/or higher priority change of their identity document to the SEHK and/or SFC for reporting.
If we do not receive any objections from clients within 14 days from the date of this notification, clients are deemed to have accepted all the provisions and obligations under this notification.
For enquiries, please contact us.
In case of any discrepancy or inconsistency between the English and Chinese versions hereof, the English version apply and prevail.
