Why 6 digits?

HSIC subclasses are 6 digits. The first four match the international ISIC class; Hong Kong adds a two-digit local suffix for finer detail, especially across its import and export trade, so a code steps from a 4-digit class straight to a 6-digit subclass. More on the HSIC structure.

This subclass includes various auxiliary activities that support financial services but do not fall under more specific categories. It encompasses services such as bank clearing houses, credit card services, dividend distribution, nominee companies, remittance services, and stock or shares registration and transfer services.

This classification includes

  • bank clearing houses
  • credit card services
  • dividend distribution houses
  • nominee companies
  • remittance services
  • stock/ shares registration and transfer services
