How long does it take to open a Futu Securities account online?

Submitting your application via the Futubull App takes under 10 minutes. Once you complete identity verification and submit your initial HK$10,000 verification deposit, approval typically takes 1 to 2 business days.

Can overseas non-Hong Kong residents open an account?

Yes. Non-permanent HK residents and overseas individuals over 18 years old can apply using a valid passport and proof of residential address issued within the last 3 months.

Is the HK$10,000 initial deposit locked or spent as a fee?

No. The HK$10,000 requirement is an online identity verification threshold mandated by Hong Kong regulations. Once your account is verified and opened, 100% of these funds remain available in your account for trading or withdrawal.
