Hong Kong maintains a three-tier system of deposit-taking institutions, i.e. licensed banks, restricted licence banks and deposit-taking companies. They are collectively known as “authorized institutions” supervised by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA).[1]
As one of the top five financial centres worldwide, Hong Kong has one of the highest concentrations of banking institutions in the world, with 70 of the largest 100 banks in the world having an operation in Hong Kong. As of 2019, there were 164 licensed banks, 17 restricted licence banks and 13 deposit-taking companies in business, constituting a total of 194 authorized institutions. In addition, there are 42 local representative offices of foreign banks in Hong Kong.[2]

Licensed banks
Summarize
Perspective
Only licensed banks may operate current and savings accounts, accept deposits of any size and maturity from the public, and pay or collect cheques drawn, or paid in, by customers.
Incorporated in Hong Kong
Incorporated outside Hong Kong
Asset size
Due to the lack of publicly available financial disclosures specific to their Hong Kong branches, certain overseas banks are excluded from this list. These institutions do not publish separate financial statements for their Hong Kong operations. As a result, their asset data has not been included. Examples of such banks include Hong Leong Bank Hong Kong Branch, Chugoku Bank Hong Kong Branch, Chiba Bank Hong Kong Branch, and Bank Negara Indonesia Hong Kong Branch.

Deposit-taking companies
Deposit-taking companies are mostly owned by, or associated with, banks. These companies engage in specialized activities, such as consumer finance and securities business. They may take deposits of HK$100,000 or above with an original term of maturity of at least three months. As of 30 September 2023, all deposit-taking companies are incorporated in Hong Kong:[126]
Local representative offices (all incorporated outside Hong Kong)
Summarize
Perspective
Overseas banks may establish local representative offices in Hong Kong, but they are not allowed to engage in any banking business and their role is confined mainly to liaison work between the bank and its customers in Hong Kong.
