Common deposit questions

1. I have already transferred the money, why hasn't it arrived in my Longbridge account?

Except for eDDA deposits and bank transfers, after the transfer, please upload the remittance voucher in APP-Assets-Deposit, and after the submission is successful, you can click on "Deposit" - top right corner "Deposit Record", click on that deposit record, and view the detailed progress.

2.I have already submitted the deposit application. Why hasn't it arrived yet?

If you have already submitted the deposit application, you can click on "Deposit" - top right corner "Deposit Record", click on that deposit record, and view the detailed progress. The arrival time for different deposit methods is different, as can be seen in the above text for the arrival time corresponding to different deposit methods.

Banks and Longbridge Securities do not handle remittance business on weekends and Hong Kong public holidays, so please reserve enough time for remittance processing.

3.The deposit failed and was rejected. How to handle it?

You can go to "Deposit" - top right corner "Deposit Record", click on that deposit record, and view the detailed failure rejection reason.

If it is due to incorrect bank account information, you can modify the bank account information in "Assets" - "bank account", and after modification, click "Assets" - "Deposit" to resubmit the deposit application.

4.How is the deposit fee charged?

The deposit fee corresponding to different deposit methods is different. For example, bank transfer, eDDA, FPS Faster Payment deposits are free.

While online banking, ATM/counter, check, wire transfer may incur certain fees, which need to be based on the bank, Longbridge does not charge, it is recommended to consult with the bank about the fee matters before depositing.

5.Do I need to bind a card before depositing?

If your bank account is a non-Hong Kong region bank account, it is recommended to bind the card first and then deposit. You can click on "Assets" - "Deposit", select the deposit currency, select the deposit bank account, and bind the bank account in advance before proceeding with the deposit;

If you deposit first and then bind the card, there is a situation where, for example, you have already transferred the money, and then you find that the current bank account does not support depositing, resulting in the deposit being returned, but the bank has charged a portion of the fee, and the return takes a long time, which is quite time-consuming.

6.Deposit Refund Progress

If you need a refund for your deposit, we will return your funds to your bank account via the same method used for deposit. The specific refund timeline depends on the bank's processing speed, which typically takes 10 to 15 working days. If there is a discrepancy in the amount refunded, it is likely due to fees charged by the bank; please contact your bank to confirm.

7.Is Wise deposit supported?

Currently not supported.

eDDA Related:

1.What to do if eDDA authorization fails?

If you are experiencing failures with EDDA authorization, it may be due to several reasons.

  • First of all, please make sure that the document type, card number, and name order you used to open a bank account are consistent with the information you filled in when authorizing EDDA. Any inconsistency may lead to authorization failure; if the bank account name you use is the same as the Longbridge Securities HK Limited account name , different names will also cause authorization failure, because the bank account name used for transfer must have the same name as the Longbridge Securities HK Limited account name.
  • Secondly, you must have registered a valid mobile phone number or email address with your bank, as well as the latest issued documents and other important information.
  • If you fail to authorize multiple times in the Longbridge app, you can try to authorize on the bank's web page.
  • In addition, if it is an HSBC bank card, it will be divided into savings account and current account. Users need to pay attention when filling in the card number. Generally speaking, the card number ending with 888/833 refers to the savings account, and the card number ending with 001 is the current account. If you're not sure about your account information, check the numbers in your checkbook or contact your bank to confirm.

2.Why is eDDA always in the authorization process?

In general, the eDDA authorization processing speed varies among different banks. Some banks may process faster, such as HSBC Bank, while others may be slower, such as Overseas Chinese Bank, which generally takes 2 working days to have results. You need to consult the corresponding bank for specific details.

3.Isn’t eDDA transfer free? Why is it charged?

Transfer fees are free.

Note: If the account balance is insufficient, some banks may deduct handling fees. For example, HSBC, please ensure that the account assets are sufficient before transfer to avoid being charged handling fees by the bank if the operation fails.
