Globeia Hong Kong | FINRA Fingerprinting
for Finance Professionals

Hong Kong is consistently ranked among the world’s leading financial centres, alongside New York City and London. A large share of the world’s major banks operate here, including Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citigroup, UBS, and Blackstone, with major operations concentrated in Central, Admiralty, and Wan Chai. The financial sector contributes roughly one-fifth to one-quarter of Hong Kong’s GDP. For professionals working in or transitioning into U.S.-registered roles, registration with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority is a regulatory requirement rather than a formality.

Globeia brings certified FINRA fingerprinting directly to you across Hong Kong. Our technicians are trained in U.S. regulatory standards, carry FINRA-approved cards, and deliver submission-ready fingerprint cards the same day. For professionals managing tight onboarding timelines across multiple regulatory jurisdictions, this is compliance handled correctly, without the disruption of a half-day detour.

Remember - FINRA registration requires rolled ink fingerprints on a FINRA-approved card. Digital fingerprints are not accepted from applicants outside the U.S. There is no alternative format, and no exception. Globeia is the one stop solution to get everything done right, in time.
