According to Odaily Planet Daily, according to the latest regulatory requirements, Futu Securities' account opening requirements have changed. Mainland Chinese customers are now required to hold overseas permanent residency identification to open an account. Futu Niu Niu customer service emphasized that the company is currently undergoing a system upgrade and currently only supports account opening by customers with Hong Kong or Macao ID cards. After the system upgrade is completed, customers can open an account using a mainland ID card combined with overseas permanent residency identification. Tiger Securities customer service also stated that in response to the latest regulatory requirements, the company has adjusted its account opening policy for mainland Chinese residents. As of last week, it will no longer accept mainland Chinese residents opening accounts by providing documents related to overseas work or life, and will only accept applications from customers holding non-mainland Chinese ID cards. However, when reporters called the customer service numbers of Futu Securities and Tiger Securities on the evening of the 22nd, the automated voice prompts for both companies stated that the account opening requirements for mainland Chinese residents remained the same as before and had not yet been changed.
