  2. Designation of a WMC Mainland Remittance Account
    The WMC Southbound Investment Account can only be used strictly for the sole purpose of the WMC Southbound Service by pairing that account with the Customer’s WMC Mainland Remittance Account and cannot be used for any other purposes or functions which may otherwise be available in respect of a bank account opened and maintained with the Bank.

    The Customer must follow the procedures and requirements as the Bank may specify from time to time, including the designation of a WMC Mainland Remittance Account for funds remittance to and from the WMC Southbound Investment Account. The Customer can only designate one WMC Mainland Remittance Account and cannot change such designated account without the Bank’s consent. The WMC Mainland Remittance Account must be opened and maintained with the Cooperating Bank. The operation of the WMC Mainland Remittance Account is subject to the terms and conditions applicable to such account as prescribed by the Cooperating Bank. The Customer shall understand the terms and risks associated with the operation of the WMC Mainland Remittance Account.

    In addition, the Customer should understand that the Cooperating Bank is incorporated in Mainland China, is not an authorized institution in Hong Kong as defined in the Banking Ordinance (Cap. 155 of the Laws of Hong Kong) and is not subject to the supervision of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority. The Cooperating Bank cannot carry on any banking business or the business of taking deposits in Hong Kong. Any deposits maintained with the Cooperating Bank are not protected under the Deposit Protection Scheme in Hong Kong.

  3. Restrictions on fund transfer and remittance
    All funds transfer and remittance under the WMC Southbound Service is restricted and subject to the Applicable Requirements and other requirements as the Bank may specify from time to time. The Customer can only effect cross-boundary fund remittance in RMB under the WMC Southbound Service under a closed-loop mechanism by pairing together the WMC Mainland Remittance Account and the WMC Southbound Investment Account, subject to any applicable aggregate and individual investor quota(s) imposed by the Applicable Requirements and/or other requirements as the Bank may specify from time to time. In other words, the Customer cannot effect cross-boundary fund remittance in RMB if the applicable aggregate or individual investor quota(s) has been exceeded. The Bank does not accept cross-boundary remittance for any other purpose.

    The Customer shall only deposit funds into the WMC Southbound Investment Account by way of cross-boundary fund remittance in RMB from the WMC Mainland Remittance Account, subject to any applicable aggregate and individual investor quota(s) imposed by the Applicable Requirements and/or other requirements as the Bank may specify from time to time.

In addition, the Applicable Requirements may change from time to time.

    The Bank generally transfers funds out of a Customer’s account upon instructions during working hours, subject to the types of transfer and the manner of instructions. The Bank reserves the right to reject the Customer’s instructions for the WMC Southbound Service, as the Bank reasonably considers appropriate. There is no assurance that the Customer’s instruction can be successfully processed in time or be processed at all. If a Customer’s instructions are rejected or not processed in time, the Customer may be subject to liquidity risk.

    The Customer shall not authorise any third party to operate his WMC Southbound Investment Account.

  4. Restricted list of Eligible Products
    The Customer is only allowed to utilise funds in the WMC Southbound Investment Account for investment in the Eligible Products. The Bank may change the list of the Eligible Products from time to time without giving any reason or prior notice. The Customer cannot purchase products which have ceased to be the Eligible Products.

    The Customer must ensure that all assets held in the WMC Southbound Investment Account (or any part thereof) are free from any charge, lien or other security interests or encumbrances or claims in favour of any other person.

  5. RMB currency risk
    RMB is subject to foreign exchange control and restrictions imposed by the Mainland Chinese central government. There may be additional rules, regulations and restrictions that are relevant to RMB conversion. The Customer should take reasonable steps to look out for updates and details before giving instructions for RMB conversion.

    The exchange rate of RMB may vary from time to time. There is no guarantee that RMB will not depreciate. The exchange rate of RMB traded outside Mainland China (“Offshore RMB”) will be affected by, amongst other things, foreign exchange control imposed by the Mainland Chinese central government from time to time. The Customer will incur currency conversion costs (being the spread between the purchase and sale of Offshore RMB) and be subject to exchange rate fluctuation risks in any such currency conversion.

  6. Foreign exchange risk
    If the Eligible Products that are traded by the Customer are not denominated in RMB, the Customer may have to convert RMB into the relevant foreign currency when the Customer invests in that foreign currency denominated Eligible Product. The Customer will be exposed to exchange rate risk.

    In addition, if the relevant foreign currency is subject to exchange control, it is possible that the Customer may not receive the relevant foreign currency upon redemption or sale of the foreign currency denominated Eligible Products. The relevant foreign currency denominated Eligible Products may also be subject to liquidity risk, credit and insolvency risks of the product issuers.

    The Bank is not responsible or liable for any diminution in the amount or the value of any foreign currency denominated Eligible Products due to taxes, imposts or depreciation, nor for the unavailability of any currency due to restrictions on convertibility or remittance, requisitions, involuntary transfers, exercise of military or usurped powers, or other similar causes beyond the Bank’s control.

  7. Disclosure of information
    The Customer agrees and authorises the Bank to collect, use or otherwise process the Customer Information for the purpose of the WMC Southbound Service and/or for compliance with the Applicable Requirements in accordance with the Data Policy Notice.

    The Bank may disclose the Customer Information and transfer such information to a place outside Hong Kong for the purpose of the WMC Southbound Service and/or for compliance with the Applicable Requirements in accordance with the Data Policy Notice:
    1. to the Cooperating Bank that opened the Customer’s WMC Mainland Remittance Account;
    2. to any Authorities to comply with the Applicable Requirements (such as meeting any aggregate and individual investor quota prescribed by the Applicable Requirements); and/or
    3. to other third parties as permitted by, and for such purposes according to the Bank's Data Policy Notice.

  8. WMC Southbound Service channel and operational hours
    The Bank has the absolute discretion to determine and vary the service channel and operational hours of the WMC Southbound Service. The Customer should be aware of the risk of price fluctuations in the Eligible Products during such time when the WMC Southbound Service is not available.

  9. General risks associated with investing in the Eligible Products
    Investing in the Eligible Products involves risks. The Customer should understand and assess the risks associated with such investment (including the specific risk disclosures set out in the transaction documents of the relevant Eligible Products).
    • Certain Investment Funds may use derivative instruments to meet their investment objectives, which may lead to higher volatility to their net asset values or expose them to risk of losses greater than the costs of the derivatives. Investment involves risks. Past performance is not indicative of future performance. The price of investment products may move up or down, and may become valueless. Investors should consider their own investment objective, financial position, risk tolerance level and relevant circumstances, and read the relevant offering documents and risk disclosure statement before making any investment decision. If investors have any doubt, they should seek independent professional advice.
    • Foreign currency investments are subject to exchange rate fluctuation which may provide opportunities and risks. The fluctuation in the exchange rate of foreign currencies may result in gains or losses in the case where the customer converts foreign currency to HK dollars or other foreign currencies. You should therefore carefully consider whether such trading is suitable in light of your own financial position and investment objectives. RMB is not freely convertible and conversion of RMB through banks in Hong Kong is subject to the rules, regulations and guidelines from the relevant regulatory authorities or entities from time to time.
    • Prices of bonds will fluctuate. The price of any individual bond (or its profit, if any) may move upward or downward and such bond may even become valueless. Investment in bond may be subject to credit risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk and other risks inherent in any investment that losses may be incurred rather than profits made as a result of buying and selling bonds. Independent assessment of the risks and appropriateness of the transaction in the light of investor's own risk profile, objectives and circumstances, including the possible risks and benefits of entering into such transaction, should be made before entering into any transaction. Investors should seek independent professional advice whenever necessary.

  10. Suspension or termination of the WMC Southbound Investment Account and/or the WMC Southbound Service
    The Bank may suspend or terminate the Customer’s use of the WMC Southbound Investment Account and/or the WMC Southbound Service at any time by giving at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the Customer. The Bank has the right to suspend or terminate the WMC Southbound Investment Account and/or the WMC Southbound Service at any time immediately without notice to the Customer if:

    1. the WMC Mainland Remittance Account is suspended or terminated;
    2. the Bank reasonably considers that the Customer is in breach, or may be in breach, of the T&Cs, the General T&Cs or any Applicable Requirements;
    3. the provision of the WMC Southbound Service by the Bank becomes or will become illegal or impracticable due to change in the Applicable Requirements;
    4. the Customer places the Bank in a position where the Bank could be acting outside a law, regulation, court order or an agreement with or guidance from any Authority; or
    5. the Bank reasonably believes that if the Bank does not suspend or terminate the Customer’s use of the WMC Southbound Service, the Bank may be subject to action or censure from any Authority.


To terminate the WMC Southbound Service and/or the WMC Southbound Investment Account, the Customer is required to take such steps as the Bank may require, including providing the Bank with documentary evidence demonstrating to the Bank’s satisfaction:

    1. the disposal, sale or termination of all the Eligible Products purchased under the WMC Southbound Service; and
    2. the conversion of funds in the WMC Southbound Investment Account into RMB and remittance of all such funds to the WMC Mainland Remittance Account; and
    3. dismissing the pairing relationship between the WMC Southbound Investment Account and the WMC Mainland Remittance Account.


The termination of the WMC Southbound Service and/or the WMC Southbound Investment Account will take effect from such date as determined by the Bank. The Customer should ensure that there are no Eligible Products or outstanding funds in the WMC Southbound Investment Account no less than 30 days before the date of termination of the WMC Southbound Investment Account.

 

  1. Taxation
    The Customer is fully responsible for any taxes in respect of transactions conducted under the WMC Southbound Service and agrees to indemnify the Bank on demand from and against all taxes which the Bank may incur in connection with any Eligible Products which the Customer holds or otherwise deals in. The Bank assumes no responsibility for advising on or handling any tax issues, liabilities and/or obligations in connection with the WMC Southbound Service and will not provide any service or assistance in this regard.
