| Hang Seng is offering cash incentives of $10k and $9k from Jun 21 to Sept 30 |
At least two major banks in Hong Kong
are offering to give residents who register with them in applying for the
$10,000 cash payout from the government.
The offers were posted after the government announced today,
Jun 8, that online registration for the cash subsidy given to all permanent
residents of Hong Kong aged 18 and above, will start at 7am on Jun 21.
The earliest date entitled residents can receive the payment
is on Jul 8.
To claim the handout, applicants can apply through the
website, e-banking service, or application forms of any of the 21 participating
banks, and the cash will be deposited directly into their sole bank account.
