How to transfer stocks to Futu HK

Notes:

1. Stocks can only be transferred between accounts under the same name. 

2. Fees: Futu HK doesn't charge any fees to transfer your stocks, but the other broker may (HK$500 will be charged for transfer in delisting securities).

3. Processing time: For HK stocks, once the other broker transfers your stocks out, it will take 1-2 business days for Futu HK to add them to your Futu HK account. For US stocks, since Futu HK needs to confirm your identity with the other broker, it will take a longer time, approximately 3-15 business days (The processing time is for reference only; Futu HK shall not be liable for any delay).

To transfer your stocks from another broker to Futu HK, you need to:

I. Submit an inbound transfer request to Futu HK; and
