PAOB– One of the New Banks with a Virtual Banking License in Hong Kong

What is a virtual bank? The set-up of banks with virtual 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 virtual 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 virtual banks have to obtain a virtual 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 virtual 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 virtual 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.

Ping An OneConnect Bank (Hong Kong) Limited (PAOB) is one of the 8 banks with a virtual banking license. It is a wholly-owned subsidiary of OneConnect Financial Technology Co., Ltd. and a member of Ping An Insurance (Group) Company of China, Ltd.
