These moves are related to the fact that there will be eight new virtual banks set up in Hong Kong in the fourth quarter of this year,” said Ben Kwong Man-bun, a director of brokerage KGI Asia.
“HSBC needs to act now to persuade its millions of customers to stay on or many of them may opt for joining the virtual banks which do not charge a fee for small depositors.”

The eight newly licensed virtual banks include two joint ventures separately led by the city’s two note-issuing banks – Bank of China (Hong Kong) and Standard Chartered Bank.
They also include a joint venture led by China’s first online insurer, ZhongAn Online P&C; a Xiaomi-AMTD Group venture called Insight fintech, and the Infinium consortium that includes Tencent Holdings, ICBC (Asia), and Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing (HKEX).
