Futu Holdings Limited ("Futu" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:FHL), a leading tech-driven online brokerage platform in China, recently announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary in the U.S., Futu Clearing Inc., has been officially granted Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") membership as a U.S. broker-dealer with the capacity to provide clearing services.

Futu Clearing Inc’s membership required a comprehensive evaluation of their regulatory compliance, financial strength and a number of other performances to ensure that they meet the required standards. Only a small number of applicants in the U.S. are able to offer clearing services. With FINRA’s membership and Futu's proprietary systems working with our licensed version of InteliClear’s Post Trade Solutions the company will be able to provide clearing, settlement and asset custody services to customers and other introducing brokers in the U.S, which will enable Futu Clearing Inc. to capture the full cycle of client trades and maintain custody of its clients' assets.

"We are pleased that Futu Clearing Inc has been granted FINRA membership in the U.S.," commented Mr. Leaf Hua Li, Futu Holding Limited's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "I believe Futu Clearing Inc’s strong technology capabilities are designed to ensure that our clearing services are highly reliable and efficient and provide a transaction experience to which customers have come to expect.  Futu Clearing Inc’s strength in technology and market influence will help diversify our revenue streams and further solidify our foothold in the U.S. market. We will also have more flexibility in terms of our product and service offerings, as well as enhanced ability to reduce trading costs for our clients. Going forward, we will continue to consider expanding memberships in order to broaden our core service offerings and expand our global presence."
