Professional broker overview
FindMyFX editorial summary
Huatai Financial Holdings (Hong Kong) Limited is the Hong Kong flagship entity of Huatai International and holds SFC central entity number AOK809. An official SFC licensing-variation record shows Type 3 leveraged foreign exchange trading was added in February 2025, while the company site lists broader securities, futures, advisory, and asset-management permissions. Public pages reviewed did not provide a standalone retail forex account specification, and an SFC enforcement action from 2018 concerned short-selling controls rather than forex trading.
Prepared from reviewed sources for informational purposes. This is not investment advice.
Editorial note: The reviewed pages establish the legal entity and Type 3 authorisation but do not establish current retail forex spreads, leverage, minimum deposit, or platform terms. The historical enforcement item is included as an authoritative regulatory event and should not be interpreted as a current licence suspension.
