How to transfer stocks to Airstar Bank

Reminder:

1. Stocks can only be transferred between accounts with exactly the same account holder name.

2. There are no fees for transferring stocks to Airstar Bank, but your current brokerage may charge you a transfer-out fee (HK$500 will be charged for transfer in delisting securities)

3. Processing Time:

  • Hong Kong Stocks: Usually credited to your Airstar Bank account within 1–2 business days after the other party completes the transfer.

  • US Stocks: May take 3–15 business days due to additional identity verification. Actual processing times may vary depending on both parties.
