According to some sources, HSBC Hong Kong has recently issued notices to some mainland stock investors requesting them to submit a “Statement on Account Opening/Maintaining Accounts” and update their contact information through the HSBC Hong Kong App by September 12. The statement includes confirming that funds for investment activities come from legal sources outside mainland China, and that banks can disclose personal data in response to requests from law enforcement or supervisory authorities. The notice also mentioned that if a declaration is not submitted before August 20, investment-related services may be suspended; if not submitted before September 12, investment-related services may be terminated. In response to this, an HSBC Hong Kong spokesperson said, “We will comply with relevant regulatory requirements when managing investment customer relationships. Therefore, we invite relevant Mainland Chinese investors to submit a self-declaration and confirm that the information provided in 'Know Your Customers' and 'Customer Due Diligence' is current and valid. This helps us continue to provide uninterrupted service to our customers. This latest statement requirement applies only to our investment services clients.” The reporter learned that in May of this year, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority issued a “monitoring measure to be taken when opening investment accounts and maintaining relationships with customers”, which includes “additional measures to be taken when opening and managing investment accounts of mainland investors”, which specifically covers measures such as “closing investment accounts opened using suspicious or falsified documents”, “closing non-movable investment accounts with zero balance”, and “opening new investment accounts.”
