Hong Kong operates a three-level framework for deposit-taking institutions: licensed banks, restricted licence banks, and deposit-taking companies. These entities, collectively referred to as authorized institutions, fall under the regulatory oversight of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA).

As a prominent international financial centre, Hong Kong boasts one of the densest concentrations of banking entities globally, with 70 of the world's top 100 banks maintaining a presence locally. By 2019, the territory was home to 164 licensed banks, 17 restricted licence banks, and 13 deposit-taking companies, making up a total of 194 authorized institutions. Moreover, there are 42 local representative offices representing foreign banks within Hong Kong.

Licensed banks

Licensed banks hold exclusive rights to provide current and savings accounts, accept deposits from the public without restrictions on amount or maturity, and handle cheque processing.
