Cross-Boundary Customer Credit Report Verification (CBCRV)
The deepened cooperation between mainland cities and Hong Kong drives significant growth of cross-boundary financial activities. However, the current barrier of cross-boundary data transfer is a critical restriction for Hong Kong financial institutions to effectively conduct risk assessments for mainland clients, including the Know You Customer (KYC) procedures for account opening and risk management of credit applications, thereby missing the huge potential market and business opportunities.
NOVA’s Cross-Boundary Customer Credit Report Verification (CBCRV) has taken the lead in establishing a compliant channel for the first-to-market cross-boundary verification service of personal credit reports issued by the Credit Reference Center, the People’s Bank of China, to address the challenges encountered in the financial industry.

Consultation service for the Filing of the Standard Contract for Cross-border Transfers of Personal Information
The Cyberspace Administration of China (“CAC”) promulgated the Measures on the Standard Contract for Cross-border Transfers of Personal Information (the “Standard Contracting Measures”) that became effective on 1 June 2023.
Enterprises and organisations transferring personal data out of the mainland, regardless of the quantity, must first enter into a standard contract and file it with the provincial-level cyberspace administration authority.
Please click here to read the Standard Contracting Measures and template of the Standard Contract for Cross-border Transfers of Personal Information.
NOVA’s Cross-Boundary Customer Credit Report Verification service has been successfully filed with the Chinese local cyberspace administration authority following the Standard Contracting Measures. NOVA is the first Hong Kong organisation to achieve this.
We are delighted to assist Hong Kong businesses on a non-profit basis by sharing our experience and key principles for filing the standard contract along with guidance on integrating cultural and standard requirements of the mainland and Hong Kong regions. And we hope that our experience sharing can benefit Hong Kong enterprises and organisations in developing cross-boundary businesses and promoting cross-boundary data flow.
