Hong Kong's start-up of the Mainland investor's non-movement of the source of funds has been declared key to restarting

On 24 August, according to financial report No. 1, a regulatory circular issued recently by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority and the CSRC on 22 May entered a critical phase of landing, and licensed institutions, such as HSBC, carried out verifications of investment accounts of mainland investors with zero balances. The object of the verification was the absence of an asset balance in the account as at 22 May 2026 and the fact that the active stock account for regular transactions had not been affected for 12 months without the customer ' s initiative. Some banks set up internal time nodes, did not submit the relevant declaration or suspension of investment services by 20 August, did not complete the investment services by 12 September and the accounts that had not completed the restart process were to be disposed of in accordance with regulatory requirements. At the heart of the re-establishment of the account is the signing of written statements of supplementary sources of funding, and clients are required to confirm for themselves that investment-related funds come from legal sources outside the interior. It is worth noting that the statement is a self-commitment only of the client, that the bank does not conduct a material verification of the funds, that the authenticity of the statement is the legal responsibility of the client, and that the institution retains records only to cooperate with regulatory verification. If the account is opened by a suspicious, forged document, no opportunity to restart will be directly closed. The current circular is being implemented and not a new regulatory policy is being introduced, and banks apply nodes based on agency notices。
