HKMA welcomes the launch of the Chongqing-Hong Kong Cross-Border Data Verification Platform

The Chongqing-Hong Kong Cross-Border Data Verification Platform, facilitated by the HKMA, was officially launched. The platform leverages blockchain technology and hash values to verify customer data without the need for cross-border transmission or storage of original documents. Initially, the platform primarily supports cross-border financial scenarios, with banks in Chongqing and Hong Kong advancing applications related to northbound and southbound data flow verification, covering services such as account opening and loan applications.
