Hong Kong Updates Banking Guidelines for Elderly and Disabled Customers

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) and the Hong Kong Association of Banks (HKAB) announced that the banking sector will implement the Guideline on Elderly-friendly Banking Services and the second edition of the Practical Guideline on Barrier-free Banking Services.

The two industry guidelines are issued by the HKAB and endorsed by the HKMA.

The Guideline on Elderly-friendly Banking Services sets out standards to support elderly customers’ access to banking services.

It aligns with the Government’s efforts to promote the silver economy. The guideline outlines eight core principles and a number of recommended practices for banks.

These include measures to strengthen financial education, improve financial literacy, and support digital adoption among elderly customers.

The second edition of the Practical Guideline on Barrier-free Banking Services introduces enhancements to existing measures.

Its aim is to improve access to banking services for customers with different needs. This includes persons with physical, visual and hearing impairments, as well as elderly customers.

The updated guidance reflects practical experience accumulated by the industry. It addresses service accessibility across both physical and digital banking channels.

Arthur Yuen, Deputy Chief Executive of the HKMA, said the authority has been working closely with the banking industry to promote financial inclusion.

He noted that the two guidelines incorporate lessons drawn from years of operational experience.

The post Why This New Trending Meme Coin Is Being Dubbed The New PEPE After Record Presale appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 17 September 2025 | 20:13 The meme coin market is heating up once again as traders look for the next breakout token. While Shiba Inu (SHIB) continues to build its ecosystem and PEPE holds onto its viral roots, a new contender, Layer Brett (LBRETT), is gaining attention after raising more than $3.7 million in its presale.

PEPE: Can it rebound or is the momentum gone? PEPE saw a parabolic rise during the last meme coin surge, catching fire on social media and delivering massive short-term gains for early adopters. However, like most meme tokens driven largely by hype, it has since cooled off. PEPE is currently trading around $0.00001076, down significantly from its peak.
