--FILE--View of an office building of Standard Chartered bank in Shanghai, China, 19 October 2018. Standard Chartered, Tencent Holdings and Ant Financial are among the first seven companies that the Hong Kong Monetary Authority has granted virtual banking licenses to, according to Shanghai Securities News. The de facto central bank had received 29 applications as of the end of August, but almost a third did not submit enough data to get the license, a HKMA spokesperson told SSN. It began accepting applications in May after announcing the requirements for virtual banks -- which offer retail banking services primarily online. The authority has not officially released the list of licensees, and none of the three firms have passed comment on the matter.
