No, it’s free to transfer Hong Kong dollars and US dollars from and receive Hong Kong dollars and US dollars into your Mox Account.

We will not charge you if you send/ receive US dollars from/into your Mox Account to/from other banks via Real Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) system, but please note that other banks may have different charging policies.

All local HKD transfers are sent in real time to the recipient and you will usually receive immediate confirmation. However, the receiving bank may take time processing and settling the request.

Local USD transfers (i.e. transferring USD from your Mox Account into another HK bank account) may take a few working days to process, subject to internal processing time and cut-off schedule of the other bank. Any local USD transfers submitted out of business hours (i.e. Monday to Friday, during 9:00am to 4:30pm, except Hong Kong Public Holidays) will be processed on the next business day.

Make sure you review and double check all the payment details before you press “confirm” on the confirmation page.

Get in touch with our Customer Care Team via "Contact us" in the Mox app and we will work with you to return the funds to the owner. We may take legal action in certain circumstances.

Currently, we accept inward transfers in USD from Hong Kong banks. We do not support the receipt of Foreign Currency transfers from overseas.

Yes, you can receive money from other Hong Kong bank accounts into your Mox Account through RTGS. To do this, use ‘389’ or ‘Mox Bank Limited’ as the payee bank and input your account number and account name.

You can use the receiving bank account number to transfer funds to another account in a JETCO member bank which supports interbank transfers through any Hong Kong JETCO ATMs (with the ‘Interbank Transfer’ logo).

Yes, the daily limit on the JETCO ATM interbank transfer amount is shared with your daily limit on your ATM cash withdrawals.

In other words, if you set a HKD20,000 daily limit on local ATM cash withdrawal and you make an interbank fund transfer of HKD15,000, the remaining cash amount you may withdraw from the ATM is HKD5,000 for the same day.

To view or edit your daily limit for JETCO ATM interbank transfers or cash withdrawals:

The ‘Add money’ feature allows you to ‘pull’ money into your account(s) with Mox from your account(s) with other banks for free, without leaving the Mox app.

The list of banks that we support for this feature includes the following banks, and we’re working to expand this list:

• Standard Chartered Bank (Hong Kong) Limited
• Bank of China (Hong Kong) Limited
• China CITIC Bank International Limited
• China Construction Bank (Asia) Corporation Limited
• Citibank (Hong Kong) Limited
• DBS Bank (Hong Kong) Limited
• Hang Seng Bank Limited
• Livi Bank Limited
• Nanyang Commercial Bank, Limited
• The Bank of East Asia, Limited
• The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited
• Welab Bank Limited
• ZA Bank Limited

There is no limit for each ‘Add money’ transaction with the following banks:

• Standard Chartered Bank (Hong Kong) Limited
• Citibank (Hong Kong) Limited
• Livi Bank Limited
• Welab Bank Limited
• ZA Bank Limited

There is a HKD10,000 limit for each ‘Add money’ transaction* with the following banks:

• Bank of China (Hong Kong) Limited

There is a HKD2,000 limit for each ‘Add money’ transaction* with the following banks:

*Don’t worry, if the amount you want to bring into Mox exceeds the transaction limit, you can make as many ‘Add money’ transactions as you need each day.

'Add money' is using electronic direct debit authorisation (eDDA) from FPS to transfer money from another bank to Mox. Some banks would issue confirmation to the customer through SMS notification or mail.

This is to prevent you from accidentally sending duplicate requests. If you would like to make the second ‘Add money’ request soon, just choose a different amount and the instruction will be processed.

It depends. When using ‘Add money’ to pull funds into Mox from your joint account at another bank, whether this is accepted depends on the checks at that corresponding bank. Please note the review may take longer than usual to complete the fund transfer.

As a reminder to use ‘Add money’, please make sure the name of your Mox account matches the name of the account holder at your other bank.

To change or cancel a recurring transfer / payment, you can:

1. Log in to the app
2. Select “Actions" tab
3. Select "Transfer"
4. Select the scheduled or recurring payment you want to edit under "Rules"

You can edit or delete a scheduled transfer before the execution date. For example, if your transfer is scheduled on Feb 2, you can edit or delete the payment by the end of Feb 1.

For recurring transfer, the edit or deletion on the execution date will apply to the next payment.

You can set up scheduled/recurring payments using the ‘Transfer’ function in the Mox app from any of your Mox accounts (i.e. your Mox Account or any of your Goal accounts) or your Mox Credit, and any such payment will be deducted from the relevant account you have selected at the time it is effected and processed.

Yes, once you have set up a scheduled/recurring payment, you can change or cancel it anytime.

Your recurring or scheduled payments to a phone number or email address will always be sent to the FPS default bank account at the time of set-up. This is to protect you from sending money to an unintended recipient.

If you are aware of a change in FPS default bank of the recipient, we suggest editing your recurring or scheduled transfers accordingly.

You can set Mox as your FPS registered bank with your mobile number or HKID number. Currently, FPS registration using email address or FPS ID is not supported.

You can easily check this under the “Settings” page. Simply go to “FPS registrations” under “Account & Mox Card settings”, and you will be able to see all your FPS registrations using various type of proxies, with Mox and other financial institutions.

Yes, you can select any of your Mox accounts (i.e. your Mox Account or any of your Goal accounts) or your Mox Credit to make FPS payments. For transfers made from your Mox Credit, please refer to the section ‘Will I be charged any fees for transferring money from my Mox Credit?’ in these FAQs.

Please note that transfers from Mox Credit can only be made to another Mox user, any other non-Mox Hong Kong bank account or other FPS “Participants”.

Please refer to Schedule 2 (Terms and Conditions for Payments and Transfers) of the General Terms and Conditions for further details.

You can make payments to merchants in a wide range of industries, such as public utilities, telecommunications, government and private organisations. Please refer to the Mox app for the latest list of organisations as it updates from time to time.

’Bill Payment’ instructions submitted on or before 16:30 Hong Kong Time from Monday to Friday (excluding public holidays) will be sent to merchants on the same day.

Other Bill Payment instructions (submitted after 16:30 Hong Kong Time on Monday to Friday, on Saturday, Sunday or public holidays) will be processed on the next working day. A pending transaction record will be shown under the ‘Activity’ list on your Mox app. You will also receive a confirmation notification after the payment is successfully sent to the merchant.

Friendly reminder: Once you’ve confirmed to submit a Bill Payment transaction, the payment amount will be deducted immediately from your deposit balance or Mox Credit available-to-spend amount, regardless of whether the amount is sent to the merchant on the same day.

You can choose to pay bills using the money in your Mox Account, Goal accounts or the available-to-spend balance on your Mox Credit. Please ensure the account you select has sufficient money to pay the bill, or the transaction will not be accepted.

Whether you can pay bills using your Mox Credit depends on multiple factors. You may be restricted from using Mox Credit for such purposes even if there is available balance in your Mox Credit.

When typhoon signal number 8 or above, or black rainstorm warning signal is hoisted in Hong Kong, your Bill Payment transactions will be processed following the settlement handling procedures of the Hong Kong Interbank Clearing Limited (HKICL). You’re advised to arrange your payments in advance to avoid unexpected delays.

You cannot cancel a ‘Bill Payment’ transaction once it has been submitted. Please be reminded to check and ensure all information is accurate before your submission. If you have submitted any inaccurate information, you’ll need to contact the merchant directly to rectify the transaction.

Your daily limit for overseas transfers is included in your daily transfer limit.

To view or change this daily limit:

1. log in to your Mox app;
2. go to side menu and select “Settings”;
3. select “Daily limits" under “Account and app settings”;
4. see “Total transfer limit”, “Overseas transfer” to view details.

To calculate whether you have reached your daily limit, we will look at the total amount you have transferred in the currencies you have sent, converted into Hong Kong dollars.

For transfers of Foreign Currencies directly from your Mox Account, you can make as many transfers as you want, subject to any limits set by you or us or any authorities for overseas transfers (for example, the ‘daily limits’ set out in your Mox app).

For transfers where you need to exchange Hong Kong dollars in your Mox Account to a Foreign Currency, you will be able to carry out such currency exchange and transfer only if you have not made more than 50 currency exchange transactions (whether as part of an overseas transfer or otherwise) that day.

You can transfer Foreign Currencies to the platforms listed below.

Currently, Mox supports the sending of CNY to accounts held with Mainland China Alipay.

You can send up to CNY50,000 per transaction, and CNY500,000 per recipient, per calendar year. Each account held with Mainland China Alipay can only receive a maximum of 10 overseas transfers per calendar month from anywhere.

Transfers to accounts held with Mainland China Alipay are subject to terms and conditions issued by Mainland China Alipay and rules and regulations of the People’s Republic of China. Transfers to Mainland China may be rejected due to such restrictions.

When transferring to Mainland China, the recipient name you provide must be exactly the same as the one registered in Mainland China Alipay’s records. Please enter the recipient’s name in Pin Yin if the recipient’s name is in Chinese.

There are two types of fees that may be applicable to your overseas transfer:

1.We will charge you a fee for the actual transfer, which we call the “Remit Fee”.

Whilst the Remit Fee for each transfer will vary (depending on the country or region the transfer is being made to, the amount being transferred and any other factors we may determine to be relevant), if:

• you are making a transfer of a Foreign Currency directly from your Mox Account, we will charge a minimum fee of 1 unit of that Foreign Currency (e.g. 1 USD, 1 GBP, 1 SGD etc.); or
• you are making a transfer of a Foreign Currency where you need to also carry out a currency exchange as part of the transfer, we will charge a minimum fee of 1 unit of the Foreign Currency that you are transferring (e.g. 1 USD, 1 GBP, 1 SGD etc.), in Hong Kong dollars.

2.If you are making a transfer of a Foreign Currency where you need to carry out a currency exchange as part of the transfer, we will also charge an FX fee for the currency exchange.

All fees associated with the transfer, including any FX fee, will be displayed in the Mox app before you confirm to proceed with the transaction.

Below are examples of how you will be charged for different transfers using Express Remit.

*You will still need to carry out a currency exchange as part of the transfer for these currencies, even if you have these currencies in your Mox Account.

It is not possible to change or cancel an overseas transfer once you have pressed the confirm button.

Please double check the details of the intended recipient and transfer amount before you confirm the transfer.

The delivery time may vary depending on the country or region the transfer is being made to. It may also be affected by our internal processing time, our payment processor’s processing time and the handling time of recipients’ platforms. The transfer could take as little as 20 seconds or up to a week.

The estimated delivery time for an overseas transfer, as provided by our payment processor, will be displayed on the Mox app before you confirm the transfer. The estimated delivery time is for reference only and not guaranteed.

All applicable fees charged by Mox will be displayed in the Mox app before you confirm to proceed with the transaction.

Some receiving platforms may charge fees for receiving funds. Please contact the recipient’s platform for information regarding fees they may charge.

Currently you can transfer EUR, AUD, GBP, SGD, JPY, CNY, PHP, IDR, INR, USD, CAD, THB and MYR overseas using Express Remit.

For example, you can only send USD to the US and GBP to the UK.

You can send USD, SGD, GBP, AUD, EUR and CAD overseas directly from your Mox Account.

However, you cannot send CNY and JPY overseas, directly from your Mox Account (even if you have CNY and JPY in your Mox Account). You must exchange Hong Kong dollars in your Mox Account into CNY or JPY, the proceeds of which will be sent overseas.

No, Mox does not support scheduled overseas transfers currently.

We will send notifications to you at each step of the transfer. You will see an estimated time by which the funds should be delivered to the recipient’s platform. The delivery time is also affected by our internal processing time, our payment processor’s processing time and the handling time of the recipients’ platforms.

Please ask the recipient to verify the receipt of funds as Mox will not know when the funds are deposited into the recipient’s account by the recipient’s platform.
