Hong Kong maintains a three-tier system of deposit-taking institutions, i.e. licensed banks, restricted licence banks and deposit-taking companies. They are collectively known as “authorised institutions” supervised by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA).
As one of the top five financial centres worldwide, Hong Kong has one of the highest concentrations of banking institutions in the world, with 70 of the largest 100 banks in the world having an operation in Hong Kong. As of 2019, there were 164 licensed banks, 17 restricted licence banks and 13 deposit-taking companies in business, constituting a total of 194 authorised institutions. In addition, there are 42 local representative offices of foreign banks in Hong Kong.
Licensed banks
Only licensed banks may operate current and savings accounts, accept deposits of any size and maturity from the public, and pay or collect cheques drawn, or paid in, by customers.
