CHANGE SIGNATURE VERIFICATION METHOD
If the signature verification of your IBKR account is "Option 4: Link your trading account to your Hong Kong bank account", we are unable to accept deposits via BOC Pay in order to avoid failure in future withdrawal. Due to the limitations of Bank of China, BOC Pay accounts can only receive FPS payments which is not currently supported by IBKR. As e-signature accounts are not permitted to create withdrawal instructions manually, clients are not allowed to link a BOC Pay account.
If you would like to deposit funds using BOC pay, use the button above or follow the below procedure to change your signature verification method and remove the deposit/withdrawal restrictions from your IBHK account:
- Log in to Client Portal
- Select Transfer & Pay followed by Transfer Funds and Withdraw Funds
- Click on the "CHANGE SIGNATURE VERIFICATION METHOD" and select a new option (review the options here)
- Once the new option has been successfully completed, the funding restrictions will be removed
