FAQs

You don't have to open an additional payroll account. Simply notify your employer to credit your salary to your Hang Seng Personal Banking account via Autopay from the company account and maintain an eligible payroll record every month. With an eligible payroll record, you'll become our PayDay+ payroll customer on the 7th working day (excluding Sunday and public holidays) of the following month. Any salary transferred on public holidays or after our bank‘s cut-off time will be processed on the next working day. If this next working day falls in the following month, you'll become our PayDay+ payroll customer on the 7th working day of the subsequent month. Once you become an eligible payroll customer, you will see the designated PayDay+ exclusive label in Personal e-Banking homepage as below. You may contact us for any enquiries.

An eligible payroll record refers to the HKD salary credited to your Personal Banking account from your employer’s company account via Autopay. Please note, only salary transfer instructions indicated for payroll purposes and recognised by our system as such may be considered eligible records.

Footnote

Other point(s) to note

  1. To borrow or not to borrow? Borrow only if you can repay! Investment involves risks. Terms and Conditions apply. 
  2. RMB Currency risk
    Renminbi ("RMB") is subject to exchange rate risk. Fluctuation in the exchange rate of RMB may result in losses in the event that the customer subsequently converts RMB into another currency (including Hong Kong Dollars). Exchange controls imposed by the relevant authorities may also adversely affect the applicable exchange rate. RMB is currently not freely convertible and conversion of RMB may be subject to certain policy, regulatory requirements and/or restrictions (which are subject to changes from time to time without notice). The actual conversion arrangement will depend on the policy, regulatory requirements and/or restrictions prevailing at the relevant time.
  3. Foreign Currency Risk
    Foreign exchange involves exchange rate risk. Fluctuations in the exchange rate of a foreign currency may result in gains or loss of principal in the event that the customer converts the deposits from Hong Kong Dollar or foreign currency to another currency, and/or in the event that the customer converts a foreign currency time deposit to another currency (including Hong Kong Dollar) upon maturity.
  4. Important Risk Warnings on Securities Service
    • Investors should note that investment involves risks. The prices of securities fluctuate, sometimes dramatically. The price of a security may move up or down, and may become valueless. It is as likely that losses will be incurred rather than profit made as a result of buying and selling securities.  
    • Investors should note that investing in different Renminbi-denominated securities and products involves different risks (including but are not limited to currency risk, exchange rate risk, credit risk of issuer / counterparty, interest rate risk, liquidity risk (where appropriate)). The key risks of investing in securities via the Stock Connect Northbound Trading include:  
      • Once the respective quota is used up, trading will be affected or will be suspended.  
      • Stock Connect Northbound Trading will only operate on days when both markets are open for trading and when banks in both markets are open on the corresponding settlement days. Investors should take note of the days the Stock Connect Northbound Trading is open for business and decide according to their own risk tolerance whether or not to take on the risk of price fluctuations in securities during the time when Stock Connect Northbound Trading is not trading.
      • When a security is recalled from the scope of eligible securities for trading via Stock Connect Northbound Trading, that security can only be sold but NOT bought.
      • Investors will be exposed to currency risk if conversion of the local currency into RMB is required.  
    • Foreign securities carry additional risks not generally associated with securities in the domestic market. The value or income (if any) of foreign securities may be more volatile and could be adversely affected by changes in many factors. Client assets received or held by the licensed or registered person outside Hong Kong are subject to the applicable laws and regulations of the relevant overseas jurisdiction which may be different from the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap.571) and the rules made thereunder. Consequently, such client assets may not enjoy the same protection as that conferred on client assets received or held in Hong Kong.  
    • Investors should note that ETF is different from a typical unit trust and many factors will affect its performance. In general, the market price per ETF unit may be significantly higher or lower than its net asset value per unit due to market demand and supply, liquidity, and scale of trading spread in the secondary market and will fluctuate during the trading day. ETF is different from stocks, investors should read the offering documents of the relevant ETF and understand the features and risks of ETF etc.  
    • Investors should not only base on this material alone to make any investment decision, but should read in detail the relevant risk disclosure statements.
