Application Submission
If a merchant needs to change their bank account, they must add the new account in the MMS system before the cut-off date of the payout settlement report, and upload the required documents to the "Document Center". For details, please refer to the following links:
Applicable to Hong Kong Banks
Applicable to Overseas and Mainland China Banks
Financial Audit Period
Once the merchant submits the application to add/update account information, the Finance Department will take approximately 10 working days to process the application. During this period, the Finance Department will suspend the processing of related payouts and settlement reports, meaning the merchant's old account will no longer receive payouts.
Approval Complete
After successful approval by the Finance Department, the payout will be transferred to the new bank account 15 to 25 working days after the cut-off date of the settlement report.
If the application documents submitted by the merchant are incomplete or incorrect, the merchant will need to resubmit the required documents, which will extend the approval time. During this extension, the Finance Department will continue to suspend the processing of related payouts and settlement reports. Merchants can check their email for instructions regarding the resubmission of documents.
Please Note:
If a merchant owns more than one store and needs to update the receiving bank account information, please update the receiving account for all stores at the same time.
Example: A merchant owns Store 01 and Store 02. When the merchant needs to change the receiving account information, please change it for both Store 01 and Store 02 simultaneously.
Practical Example for Adding/Changing a Bank Account
Example 1: The merchant receives payouts only once a month, and the payout settlement date is the last day of each month.
Assume the cut-off date for 20250531 settlement report is May 31, 2025.
Example 2: The merchant receives payouts three times a month, with the payout settlement dates falling on the 10th, 20th, and the final day of each month.
Assume the cut-off date for 20250510 settlement report is May 10, 2025.
**HKTV Finance Department will disburse payouts to merchants based on the bank account details recorded in the system. If the bank account details are incorrect, the merchant will not be able to receive funds and will be required to resubmit a new application.
Location: MMS > Merchant Information > Change Bank Account
Merchants cannot modify existing bank account details. If you need to make any changes to your bank account details, you must add a new account in the system.
Bank Account Name: This refers to the company name stated on your Business Registration Certificate (BR) or bank statement, and must be in English.
(*If your new bank account name differs from your company name, please sign the Account Transfer Authorisation Letter and attach (1) the company founder’s signature and (2) the company stamp.)
Bank Account Number: The format must be "3-digit Bank Code - 3-digit Branch Code - 7-to-9-digit Bank Account Number",
e.g. 004-257-12345678
If the bank account number is correct and fully complies with the format, the system will automatically populate the "Bank Code", "Bank Name", and "Branch Code".

Notes:
If the merchant’s application to switch to a new account is successful, the status will be displayed as "審批成功 Approved".
If the system status changes to "Rejected" or "Require Merchant to Submit Additional Documents", the merchant will receive an email notification. Please follow the instructions to resubmit the documents or lodge a new application.
**Please note: After a merchant joins the platform, Merchant Relationship Manager will handle matters regarding your bank account. If Finance Department notices errors in the account details entered by merchants, the merchant will be unable to upload supporting documents. In this event, the merchant must click [Change Bank Account] to correct the relevant information.
