Hong Kong, China -- (SBWire) -- 03/14/2022 --Cross-boundary fintech initiatives are being prioritised in Hong Kong thanks to the arrival of the Greater Bay Area Fintech Pilot Trial Facility. The Hong Kong Monetary Authority and the People's Bank of China have announced that financial institutions can now submit applications with respect to pilot trials for cross-boundary fintech initiatives in the Greater Bay Area (GBA). The purpose of the Pilot Trial Facility is to create an environment where it's possible for firms to test out projects and receive both supervisory feedback and insight into user experience. The fintech announcement comes in the wake of a great deal of activity relating to cross-border financial services for the GBA. This is a key location for the central government, which is focused on connecting key areas such as Macau, Hong Kong and cities in Guangdong. A Memorandum of Understanding on Cooperation in Fintech Innovation Supervision has been in place between Hong Kong and mainland China for some time now, and this new pilot is the latest evolution of that.
