Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission: Licensed companies in Hong Kong can continue to provide services to existing mainland clients, but cannot provide services within mainland China
The Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission further interpreted the circular issued on May 22. The frequently asked questions (Question 9) in the circular mentioned that licensed companies in Hong Kong can continue to open new accounts for investors from mainland China (i.e., investors using Chinese resident identity cards and/or Chinese passports as identification documents), but must comply with all account opening regulations.
The Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission stated that licensed companies in Hong Kong can continue to provide services to existing clients from mainland China, provided that such services are not offered within mainland China and that they have complied with all relevant laws and regulatory requirements of Hong Kong and applicable jurisdictions. The Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission also noted that it is aware of the notice jointly issued by the mainland authorities on May 22, 2026, and that the relevant requirements also apply to financial institutions in other jurisdictions (not limited to Hong Kong) when providing services to investors from mainland China.
