Deposit guide of bank-securities transfer (HK bank)

Tips:

1. The account name of bank used for payment must be the same as the account name of Futu Securities.

2. It takes time for the bank to process the remittance request, and the bank's notification of "remitted" does not indicate that Futu Securities has received the funds. The funds need to be settled and approved after arriving at Futu Securities. The bank and Futu Securities do not process remittance during public holidays in Hong Kong. Please allow the time for remittance processing.

3. Futu doesn't accept any cash deposit or e-wallet transfer.
