The window

A file, then an admission

The window does four things. It identifies the client, it screens the file, it may audit again, and only then it admits an investment. It is not a public deposit desk.

Required: Before a file is opened

KYC

Identify the company or the person. Registry or passport, address, and the person who may sign. Without this step there is no file.

Required: With the file, the same day

AML screening

Sanctions, politically exposed persons, source of funds, source of wealth. A hit is followed by another question. No reply, and admission does not open.

Required: Consent on the file

Audit

The window may open the file again: a further document, a wallet path, remote or on site. Acceptance is not a permanent pass.

Required: After the file is accepted

Investment admission

A mandate is offered only to a named company or a named private individual. The window does not take a public deposit, and it does not promise yield, principal, or an instant payment.

Required: Enhanced due diligence

A cross-border file

If a file is to leave Hong Kong, the owners, the source of funds, and dual control must already sit on that same file.
