If you’re aged between 18 and 30 (inclusive) and have a securities account (excluding Share Margin Account) under a sole name Integrated Account (eligible Securities Accounts), you’re qualified for SimplyStock.
How it works:
If you're 18-30 (inclusive) on any day of the calendar month, you can enjoy SimplyStock till the last trading day of that month.
Where a customer will turn 31 years old in that month as example:
You can enjoy SimplyStock when you trade Eligible Securities via an eligible Securities Account, you do not need to prepay the brokerage fee i.e. it is not in the form of a rebate.
Your monthly trading amount covers executed securities trading performed via eligible Securities Accounts through digital channels (including Hang Seng Personal e-Banking/Hang Seng Personal Banking mobile app/Hang Seng Invest Express mobile app): buy and sell transactions of Local Securities (including ETFs, warrants and CBBCs while IPO and MIPS are excluded), Stock Connect Northbound Securities, and US Securities (eligible securities).
You can enjoy $0 brokerage fee and $0 deposit charge for SimplyStock for Eligible Securities made via digital channels (including Hang Seng Invest Express mobile app, Hang Seng Personal e-Banking and Hang Seng Personal Mobile App). You will need to pay standard brokerage charges and deposit charges if you trade via non-digital channels (including branches, manned or automated securities trading hotlines).
To determine the total trading amount in a calendar month, all transaction amounts in RMB and USD will be converted to HK$ using the exchange rate as determined by Hang Seng on the day you trade.
The amount is calculated monthly and reset on the first day of each calendar month.
You still need to pay third-party transaction charges, e.g. transaction levy, stamp duty and trading fee, handling fee, securities management fee, transfer fee and capital gain tax, etc.
The Monthly Fee will be charged on the last business day (Mon to Sat excluding public holidays) of each month. You may check the record under ‘Custody or Monthly fee’ or ‘Bank Charge SEC’ in your account statement and your Securities account statement.
Monthly Fee will be deducted from the corresponding settlement account of the eligible Securities Account with the highest total trading amount.
If you didn't trade any securities via digital channel in that month, you don't need to pay the HK$30 Monthly Fee.
You can log on to Hang Seng Personal Banking mobile app, go to left menu and tap "Account Services" > "e-Statement / e-Advice", then choose a securities account to check the waived / paid brokerage fee.
Or, you can tap the record icon at the top right corner of SimplyStock homepage, and learn how to view your brokerage fee record of your transactions.
