Deposit guide (general)

Tips:

1. The name of the bank account owner must match that of the security account owner. Funds cannot be withdrawn to other people's bank account. 

2. It takes time for the bank to process the remittance request, and the bank's notification of "remitted" does not indicate 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 holidays and public holidays in Hong Kong. Please reserve time for remittance processing.

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

4. Futu HK may refuse the deposit of funds from some special channels (including third-party payment service providers, overseas banks and bureau de change) to protect the safety of your funds and for other compliance reasons.  After the refusal, Futu HK will notify the relevant customer to return the funds via the same channel or other means.  Some special channels may deduct the refund fee from the remittance amount.  Please deposit funds with a bank account currently tied to the system.
