More details can be found on WINGS website and a video on digitalised licensing services.
In addition to the website version, the WINGS Mobile App offers an alternative access to WINGS' services. A number of key features have been built in in WINGS Mobile App to facilitate a fully digitalised application process, such as tracking of submission history, electronic payment and WINGS Mail. You can also access your information profile and signing application electronically via the app.
For both corporate and individual applicants , if you wish to apply for a licence or registration, you should submit your online application to the SFC through an "Individual Account" or "sub-account of an Advisory Firm Account" on WINGS-LIC.
