LOCAL PAYOUT OR DIRECT WIRE?
The same destination can ask for different details
Hong Kong does not use IBAN. Local HKD payouts may use bank and branch codes with the account number. A direct international wire commonly requests the bank's SWIFT/BIC.
Prefer their banking screen, official statement or bank-issued incoming-payment instructions.
Use the official source links below. A passing format is not an institution match.
Call through a trusted number, not contact details contained in the payment-change message.
Sources for Hong Kong
Use these for the institution, branch or national format. A directory result still does not identify the recipient account.
