Hong-Kong based ZA Bank is set to launch US stock trading. The Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission has lifted the previous conditions on the bank’s licence registration of Type 1 (dealing in securities) regulated activity under which the bank can only carry on business of dealing in collective investment schemes. ZA Bank plans to roll out US stock trading services in due course upon completion of a pilot trial.
ZA Bank users will be able to access a broader range of investment opportunities from stocks and ETFs to ADRs in the US markets via the ZA Bank App. It says it is determined to minimise users’ fees with greater efficiency, alongside instant investment account opening for eligible users.
