Fintech company GTN today announced it has secured a Type 1 licence from the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) in Hong Kong.

This latest licence upgrades GTN’s Asia-Pacific operation with a dedicated local team in Hong Kong and connects global firms to US$3 trillion in capital flows between China and the rest of the world. Hong Kong becomes GTN’s sixth regulatory-licensed subsidiary alongside the UK, US, Singapore, UAE, and South Africa.

“GTN has provided access to Hong Kong and China markets across its network for several years and has witnessed increasing demand from clients globally to trade in this high-growth region. Securing a regulatory licence and establishing a dedicated team in Hong Kong reflects GTN’s continued commitment to the Greater China region,” said Manjula Jayasinghe, co-founder and Group Chief Executive Officer of GTN. “This milestone enables GTN to facilitate customer order flow from Greater China into global markets, while further enhancing its ability to provide access to Greater China markets for clients across the GTN network.”

Key capabilities for partners:

• Dedicated Greater China servicing: A local team and direct regulatory mandate to better service Greater China domiciled institutions.
• Two-way China access: Seamless access to Hong Kong securities and the Stock Connect programme (China-Hong Kong cross-border flows), providing a catalyst for two-way order flow between China and the rest of the world.
• Fractional trading: Building on its 2025 expansion, GTN now offers regulated fractional trading for HKEX-listed stocks, enabling retail-facing apps to democratise access to high-value Asian equities.
• Rapid integration: A single integration point for more than 90 markets and 8 asset classes, significantly reducing time-to-market.
