Monetary Authority logo

The Monetary Authority warns consumers of suspected fraudulent bank website - www.ce-bank.com. The site is operated by an alleged "Citi Express Bank", which claims it offers banking services in Hong Kong.

 

The alleged entity is not authorised under the Banking Ordinance to conduct banking business or take deposits in Hong Kong, nor does it have approval to establish a local representative office.

 

Police are investigating the case. Anyone who has dealings with Citi Express Bank, or has provided personal information to the website, or has conducted any financial transactions through it, should contact Police on 2860 5012.

 

Consumers are reminded to verify the status of any organisation making use of the Internet to solicit deposits.

 

A list of authorised institutions is available on the authority's website. The status of any entity in Hong Kong which solicits deposits from the public can also be checked on 2878 8222.
