PAObank– One of the New Banks with a Digital Banking License in Hong Kong
What is a digital bank? The set-up of banks with digital banking licenses is a new trend in Hong Kong, if not the world. A virtual bank can be defined as a bank which primarily delivers retail banking services through the internet or other forms of electronic channels instead of physical branches. In many worldwide regions such as countries of the European Union, the US and Asia, advanced digital banks have been introduced to save the hassle of using the traditional banking service. To most of us, it is a time saving and efficient alternative for handling the money.
In Hong Kong, all digital banks have to obtain a digital banking license. This is one of the new initiatives of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA), to start a new Smart Banking Era. With the introduction of the digital banking licenses, non-traditional financial services providers can enter the Hong Kong banking sector with only virtual services without the requirement of physical branches. To obtain a digital banking license, the companies must meet the requirements as set by the HKMA. Virtual banks are subject to the same set of supervisory requirements applicable to conventional banks.
