How to transfer stocks to Airstar Bank

Reminder:

1.Stocks can only be transferred between accounts with exactly the same account holder name. Transfers from joint accounts or third-party accounts are not currently supported.

2.Transfer-in fees: There are no fees for transferring stocks into Airstar Bank, except for delisted Hong Kong stocks (a handling fee of HK$500 per delisted stock will be charged by the bank). Your current broker may charge a transfer-out fee. Please ensure you have sufficient funds in your current broker account to cover these fees. Otherwise, the transfer may fail.

3.Processing time: For Hong Kong stocks, once transferred out by the current broker, Airstar Bank will credit them to your account within 1 to 2 business days. For US stocks, identity verification with the receiving party is required, and the transfer may take 3 to 15 business days. (The above timeframes are for reference only. Actual processing times are subject to both parties.)
