Mox Bank Limited (“Mox”) is delighted to announce its official launch to everyone in Hong Kong.

Mox is a new virtual bank created by Standard Chartered in partnership with PCCW, HKT and Trip.com, which provides its suite of retail banking services entirely digitally over its app. With Mox, opening an account is fast, secure and free. Within minutes, customers can enjoy a whole new way of smarter banking, saving and spending.

Mox brings the next-generation of banking to Hong Kong through a cloud-based bank built from the ground up with resilient infrastructure and rapid, cost-efficient development cycles. It also underscores Standard Chartered’s continued momentum in digitising its Retail Banking business and building strong strategic collaborations in response to the changing digital habits of clients across its markets.
