HKMA issues alert regarding specific website

The following is issued on behalf of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority:

     The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) wishes to alert members of the public in Hong Kong that the firm as referred to on the website (https://greenlandfinance-hk.com) does not have the authorization of the Monetary Authority (MA) under the Banking Ordinance to carry on banking business, or the business of taking deposits, in Hong Kong.
      
     Given the global nature of the Internet, members of the public are reminded to verify the status of any organisation claiming to the public in Hong Kong that it has the authorization of the MA, prior to transferring any funds to, or providing any personal information to, any such organisation.
      
     A list of authorized institutions is available on the HKMA's website (www.hkma.gov.hk). Members of the public may also check the status of any entity which holds itself out as authorized by the HKMA by emailing the HKMA's public enquiry service (publicenquiry@hkma.gov.hk).
