ID, Password and Keycode

What is the use of the Login ID and Login Password?

You are required to input the Login ID and Login Password to view your account information online.

What is the difference between Login ID and Account number?

Your Login ID will start with "BE" or "BU" while your Account Number will either start with "CA" for individual account or "CP" for corporate account. For security reason, our customer service representatives usually communicate with our clients by using the Account Number but not their Login ID. Besides, we also show the CA/CP number in the client statement but not the BE/BU number.

What is the use of the Trading Keycode?

After you have login and input an order, the system will ask you to enter the "Keycode" to re-confirm your instruction.

Are the Member ID, Login Password and Trading Keycode case-sensitive?

The Member ID, Login Password and Trading Keycode are case-sensitive.

You should contact our customer service hotline at (852) 2255 8888 immediately if you forgot your Login Password or Trading Keycode, and we will re-issue the Password and Keycode for you after verification of your identity.

You are highly recommended to change your Login Password and Trading Keycode right after receiving a new one from us and on a regular basis.

Interest for Account

Will I receive interest on my funds available in my BOOM trading account?

HKD, AUD or USD positive balance in your BOOM trading account are entitled for interest when the balance is maintained at the amount as specified by BOOM.

Managing Funds and Securities

Where are my funds held and how are they protected?

BOOM client funds are held in a "trust" account at BOOM's designated banks. A trust account prohibits a broker from transferring or accessing client funds for any purpose other than dealing on behalf of its clients. Under Section 149(1) of the Securities and Futures Ordinance, BOOM must keep proper records in relation to all amounts paid into a trust account and all withdrawals from the trust account to prove that no misappropriation has taken place. Under any circumstances, your money cannot be claimed or accessed by anyone except clients themselves.

In addition, our clients will be entitled to the Investor Compensation Fund in case of default. The current limit is HK$150,000 per person.

Where are my securities held?

For Hong Kong stocks your shares will be kept in our clearing and safekeeping account (account number: B01740 under the name of Boom.com Limited) with CCASS. For stocks of other markets, your shares will be kept in our agent's clearing and safekeeping account with local central depositary. To facilitate corporate action entitlements, shares will be registered in our nominees' names.
