Yes. We have customers from around the world. After you complete your application and all the supporting documents, please make sure it is signed and witnessed. Qualified witnesses include a bank branch manager, lawyer, public accountant, justice of the peace or a notary public. 

Alternatively, you can waive the need to have your signature witnessed by either

(i)            transfer an initial deposit  (only apply for e-signature) ; or
(ii)           mail a cheque payable to “8 Securities Limited” 

of a minimum of HK$10,000 from your registered Hong Kong licensed bank account(s) to us.

Please note that we do not accept applications from US persons as defined by the United States Internal Revenue Service. For more information, please visit www.irs.gov
