HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach - 10 May 2022 - Hang Seng Bank understands the importance of nurturing the youth and is committed to launching new services and products for all young customers to meet their financial needs at different stages of life and supporting them to move towards their dreams and thrive together. To help them take the first steps in financial management, Hang Seng invited Neo Yau, Hui Yin and So Chi Ho, the founders of the YouTube Channel "Trial & Error" to produce and participate in a special TV commercial to encourage the young millennials to extend their knowledge of wealth management and investment with "Trial mode*" while enjoying a variety of attractive offers.

Ms Rannie Lee, Head of Wealth and Personal Banking at Hang Seng Bank said, 'Young millennials are full of dreams and ideas, and financial planning is an important part of setting and achieving their life goals. Members of "Trial & Error" are young and dynamic with strong ideals and high levels of creativity, which represents Hang Seng's culture of being creative and pursuing business innovation for a better future. We are delighted to collaborate with "Trial & Error" this time. With their humorous and creativity, we accompany our young customers to easily take their first steps in their lifelong wealth journeys.'

Hang Seng Bank has a long, well-regarded history of listening to their customers and recognising the changing needs of the millennials and other young generations early on. The Bank offers digital banking approaches that match the habits of the younger generations. These included innovative services like starting your fund investment with just HKD 1 via SimplyFund, being the first bank in the city to adopt Near Field Communication (NFC) technology that allows a mobile phone connecting with an ATM for cash withdrawals and the first in the market to offer a Mobile Cheque Deposit service. In addition, the Bank enabled young customers to access financial education information and resources. As a result of these insightful approaches, the number of younger customers opening Preferred Banking accounts has increased by over 20% year-on-year.

Neo Yau, the Creative Director of the "Trial & Error" said, 'This is our first attempt to produce a TV commercial since we have started our channel more than a year ago. It has been a great pleasure to take up the role of Preferred Banking's ambassadors together with Hui Yin and So Chi Ho. After dressing up in a classic suit and tie, we already feel we have become a more mature person.' Yau also mentioned that the creative idea was that the three of them were travelling between classic movies and their channel's movies, to encourage the young audience to take their first steps to activate "Trial mode*" into financial management through the Hang Seng Bank services.

Stock Connect Northbound Trading will only operate on days when both markets are open for trading and when banks in both markets are open on the corresponding settlement days. Investors should take note of the days the Stock Connect Northbound Trading is open for business and decide according to their own risk tolerance whether or not to take on the risk of price fluctuations in securities during the time when Stock Connect Northbound Trading is not trading. When some stocks are recalled from the scope of eligible stocks for trading via Stock Connect Northbound Trading, the stocks can only be sold but NOT bought. Investors will be exposed to currency risk if conversion of the local currency into RMB is required. · Foreign securities carry additional risks not generally associated with securities in the domestic market.
