BCAN format and confidentiality
•
un
Hong Kong Investor ID Regime
BCAN consists of up to 10 digits to be assigned by a Relevant Regulated Intermediary, prefixed
by its CE number (i.e. "ABC123. [BCAN]")
To distinguish between BCANS assigned by different Relevant Regulated Intermediaries, a
Relevant Regulated Intermediary will need to insert is CE number as a prefix before the BCAN on
the trading system and in the BCAN-CID Mapping File
Provided the BCAN is compliant with the requirements set out in the HKEX Information Paper:
a client's BCAN can be the same under the Hong Kong Investor ID Regime and the NB
Investor ID Regime
BCAN may include reference to a Relevant Regulated Intermediary's internal client number or
account number
No obligation to disclose BCAN to clients.
No prohibition against voluntary disclosure of BCAN to clients, but need to consider
compliance with applicable data privacy laws and regulations because BCAN, when read with
CID, would disclose a person's identity and constitute personal informationView entire presentation
