香港金管局要求银行3个月内完成追溯至2023年1月的假文件开户排查

Hong Kong Monetary Authority requires banks to complete within 3 months the investigation of accounts opened with forged documents, tracing back to January 2023.

Odaily Planet Daily News: The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) has required banks to initiate account opening reviews for investment accounts opened by mainland Chinese users, with a focus on identifying and closing accounts opened with forged documents and cleaning up zombie accounts. The scope of the investigation into forged document accounts covers accounts opened since January 2023, with the investigation to be completed within 3 months and problematic accounts to be closed within 6 months after completion.

The investigation and cleanup of "zombie accounts" will also commence within the next 3 months. Banks must identify cases where investment accounts held by mainland Chinese investors have had zero balances and no transaction activities in the year prior to May 22, 2026, reconfirm their KYC (Know Your Customer) information, and require customers to make a series of declarations according to the new regulations for opening new investment accounts. If these procedures cannot be completed, the accounts will be closed within 6 months. (Caixin)
