Mox Bags License to Roll Out Hong Kong and U.S. Equity Trading Services
by Fintech News Hong Kong June 19, 2023Virtual bank Mox announced that it has obtained a Type 1 (dealing in securities) license from Hong Kong’s Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) to enable it to roll out Hong Kong and U.S. equity trading services.
Mox will soon pilot the Mox Invest equity trading service in the Hong Kong Monetary Authority’s Fintech Supervisory Sandbox and onboard customers in phases later this year.
The digital bank said that the Mox Invest intuitive onscreen dashboard will give customers immediate clarity over their securities portfolio performance.
Beyond Hong Kong and U.S. securities investment, Mox Invest will also allow customers to invest in U.S. fractional securities.
This will enable customers to start their investment portfolio small and quickly by buying a fraction of any eligible U.S. security.
Equity trading will be the first service on Mox Invest. Mox added that it will continue to add new services in the future.
