Dear Howard
Consultation on “Guideline on Authorisation of Virtual Banks”
The Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce welcomes the opportunity of commenting on the Consultation on the Hong Kong Monetary Authority’s draft Guideline on Authorisation of Virtual Banks (“the CP”). We are pleased to attach for your consideration our comments in response to the CP’s proposals.
Although we support the proposal to promote wider options for customers and foster innovation in Hong Kong through the setting up of virtual banks, it is also equally important that virtual and conventional banks operate under equal footing.
We hope you will find our comments to be useful to your deliberations.
Yours sincerely
Shirley Yuen
CEO
