How is "aggregate outward fund transfer limit" calculated? Would I be notified if such of my Streamlined Corporate Account is about to exceed HKD10,000,000 or equivalent?

"Aggregate outward fund transfer limit" includes intrabank fund transfer to third-party accounts and all outward payments through Real Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) / Fast Payment System (FPS) including both self-name and third-party transfers. Bank charges are included if any.

If the transaction is cancelled or rejected by Airstar Bank, such transaction amount is not calculated in the aggregate outward fund transfer limit. However, under any circumstances when the instructed outward fund transfer is completed by Airstar Bank while returned by recipient's bank, such transaction amount is calculated in the aggregate outward fund transfer limit.

You can check account bank balances and recent activities through our corporate internet banking services. You will receive a SMS reminder once aggregate outward transactions reach over HKD9,000,000 or equivalent. Please contact our Relationship Manager for upgrading your Streamlined Corporate Account to a standard corporate account.
