List of banks in Hong Kong
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hong Kong maintains a three-tier system of deposit-taking institutions, i.e. licensed banks, restricted licence banks and deposit-taking companies. They are collectively known as “authorised institutions” supervised by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA).[1]
As one of the top five financial centres worldwide, Hong Kong has one of the highest concentrations of banking institutions in the world, with 70 of the largest 100 banks in the world having an operation in Hong Kong.
Licensed banks
Only licensed banks may operate current and savings accounts, accept deposits of any size and maturity from the public, and pay or collect cheques drawn, or paid in, by customers.
Incorporated in Hong Kong
According to the Register of Authorized Institutions and Local Representative Offices maintained by HKMA, there were 32 locally incorporated banks in Hong Kong as of November 30, 2025, eight of which were digital banks.[2] As of July 29, 2025, all locally incorporated banks are members of the Deposit Protection Scheme.[3]

Total assets
Due to the lack of publicly available financial disclosures specific to their Hong Kong branches, certain overseas banks are excluded from this list. These institutions do not publish separate financial statements for their Hong Kong operations. As a result, their asset data has not been included. Examples of such banks include Hong Leong Bank Hong Kong Branch, Chugoku Bank Hong Kong Branch, Chiba Bank Hong Kong Branch, and Bank Negara Indonesia Hong Kong Branch.

|---|---|---|---|
| Notes: ‡: The registered banking entity holds multiple domestic and international legal entities with substantial assets. Accordingly, its financial statements reflect the full consolidation of controlled subsidiaries—typically defined as those where the bank holds more than 50% of voting rights—in compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard 10 (IFRS 10): Consolidated Financial Statements. §: The reported figures are based on combined estimates for the local bank and the Hong Kong branch of an overseas bank operating under the same holding group; these data are intended for indicative comparison purposes only. | |||
