Challenges

Keeping pace with transaction speeds
The speed of opening and funding of online trading accounts is increasingly important as investors typically wish to immediately transact to take advantage of market opportunities.

Slow manual processes
Previously, the direct debit process was manual and paper-intensive, and often took 6 to 12 weeks to complete. Investors also had to log on to multiple platforms to initiate payments to fund their trading accounts on the moomoo app, which were limited to banking hours.

Hard to reconcile payments
In addition, manual checks and reconciliation of investor details against source of funds significantly slowed down the funding process, leading to increased costs and a suboptimal investor experience.
