List of Banks
in Hong Kong
Hong Kong maintains a three-tier system
of deposit-taking institutions, licensed banks, restricted-licence banks
and deposit-taking companies. They are collectively known as authorised
institutions by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, which is responsible
for regulations.
Hong Kong is the financial centre of East Asia. It has one of the
highest concentrations of banking institutions in the world. 71 of the
largest 100 banks in the world have an operation in Hong Kong. At the
end of September 2004, there were 133 licensed banks, 42 restricted-licence
banks and 36 deposit-taking companies in business, giving a total of 211
authorised institutions, with 1295 local branches. 186 of these 211
authorised institutions are beneficially owned by interests from 31
countries. In addition, there are 85 local representative offices of
overseas banks in Hong Kong.
Licensed banks
Licensed banks may operate current and savings
accounts, and accept deposits of any size and maturity from the public
and pay or collect cheques drawn by or paid in by customers.
