HSBC, Hang Seng roll out mobile check deposits

The Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation and Hang Seng Bank (0011) rolled out mobile check deposits, making their customers among the first in Hong Kong to enjoy the convenience of depositing cheques at any time and from any location using only their mobile phones.

The mobile check deposit function is available to all HSBC Hong Kong customers through the HSBC HK mobile banking app for individuals and the HSBC HK Business Express mobile app for businesses.

The new service will support the remote deposit of Hong Kong Dollar checks, cashier's orders, customized checks and dividend checks issued by HSBC and Hang Seng Bank.

Last month, HSBC saw a 30 percent year-on-year growth in the number of Business Express mobile app logins.
