Hong Kong Association of Banks
- Hong Kong Association of Banks
The Hong Kong Association of Banks (Chinese language:香港銀行公會 or 銀公會 in short) (HKAB) is an association created based on a series of Bank Ordinances enacted since 1948. In 1981 the association was established and replaced the Exchange Bank Association. The ordinance provides a framework for the Government to exchange views with the banking sector for the further development of the industry.
Although banking licenses are granted by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA), no fully licensed bank can operate in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) without being a member of HKAB and is thus subject to HKAB's rules. Its members are the banks, not their employees. HKAB is under the auspices of its member banks, which are represented by their designated representatives in general meetings. Each member bank must designate a senior executive to represent it vis-à-vis HKAB at meetings.
