Third-party Depository

【Introduction】

The Third-party Depository is an initiative carried out throughout the securities industry to reform the management system of client's transaction settlement fund in response to the requirements of the Securities Law. With the Third-party Depository, securities companies entrust the transaction settlement funds of investors to a deposit bank for independent account management. The deposit bank is responsible for providing deposit and withdrawal services for investors' funds as well as fund transfer between the bank and securities company.

The Third-party Depository works on the basis of closed and centralized fund transfer, an enquiry channel between the bank and securities company as well as bank supervision mechanisms, thus ensuring the security of client's funds.

* Article 139 of the Securities Law: The trading settlement funds of the clients of a securities compan y shall be deposited in a commercial bank and be managed through independent accounts as opened in the name of each client.

The bank provides investors with a two-way transfer service for the funds of securities deposit account, and an account and trading and settlement details inquiry service for the balance of deposits, so as to ensure the fund security of all investors' security deposit accounts.
