We keep our funds separate from yours

As of April 2021, we've raised $61.4 million USD to fund our operations. This money pays our salaries, rent, and bills.
The funds we use for our operations are in a completely separate bank account from your money.

Where is your money kept?

Your money belongs to you, not us. In an unlikely bankruptcy event, any money held in a trust or custodian account can’t be touched.

Frequently Asked Questions

We do not outsource customer service to third party providers. All our staff are trained in-house so that we have tighter controls over the onboarding process, and our Client Experience team does not forward customer documents to any other department in the company.

Access to our corporate network is only for authorized personnel and specific devices.  We practice the Principle of Least Privilege, where we only assign just enough access for a staff to perform his or her job. Hence, only very limited staff has access to customer information.

We are fully compliant with the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance in Hong Kong and Securities and Futures Commissions (SFC) Guidelines.

Your personal information is securely stored in our databases, in accordance with Hong Kong’s regulations and other applicable data protection and privacy laws. Where the business is required to share such information in the process of providing our services to you, care is given to ensure that the same duty of confidence and security is applied.
