Fintech Supervisory Chatroom (Chatroom) seeks to provide supervisory feedback to banks and tech firms at an early stage when new technology applications are being contemplated, thereby reducing abortive work and expediting the rollout of new technology applications.
Firms may access the Chatroom through emails, video conferences or face-to-face meetings with the HKMA. The detailed arrangements are set out below:
