Trust Account is an account maintained by the bank on behalf of clients for the purposes of keeping the clients’ money in trust. When a client opens an individual trading account with the bank, the client automatically has a personal Trust Account. Please refer to section 111 or 122 in the Capital Markets & Services Act 2007 for complete definition of Trust Account.

With the ATP service, you enjoy the convenience of having your net sales proceeds being paid into your trust accounts promptly on T+3, 12.30 pm. Picking up cheques from sales proceeds from your bank branch is unnecessary and you eliminate inconveniences from lost or expired cheques and asking your dealer or remisier to bank in your cheques.
