Keep in mind:

  1. Unless otherwise specified, the times mentioned below are based on Hong Kong stock trading days.

  2. As banks do not operate during holidays and market closures, withdrawal processing time may be affected.

Instructions

You can withdraw funds in HKD, USD, and CNH via bank-securities transfer. Here are the steps:

 

1. Obtain Authorisation for Bank-Securities Transfer

Before you can withdraw funds via bank-securities transfer, you need to obtain authorisation from Airstar Bank. For more information, see this article.

 

2. Make a Withdrawal

To submit a withdrawal request in the app:

  1. Go to the Accounts tab > Transfers > Withdraw

  2. Select the currency you want to withdraw

  3. Choose Airstar Bank as the receiving bank

  4. Enter the withdrawal amount

  5. Check that all information is correct, and tap Confirm

 

3. Estimated Arrival Time

3.1 Why can't a withdrawal via bank securities transfer be credited to my account in real time?

Due to the strict regulations of the Hong Kong market, as well as the service limitations of Hong Kong banks, bank-securities transfer between Futu and Airstar Bank requires funds settlement and approval. Therefore, real-time transfer is temporarily unavailable.

We will work to improve the bank-securities transfer process and strive for real-time arrival in the future. Nevertheless, bank-securities transfers are still much faster than ordinary online bank transfers.
