The Account Pledge Agreement is a key security document used in Hong Kong financing transactions where lenders require security over cash deposits and bank accounts. It is commonly used in project finance, corporate lending, and structured finance transactions. The document establishes the security interest, governs the operation of the pledged accounts, and provides enforcement mechanisms under Hong Kong law. The agreement typically forms part of a broader security package and needs to comply with Hong Kong's regulatory requirements, including registration obligations under the Companies Ordinance where applicable. The agreement is particularly important in transactions where cash flow control and account monitoring are crucial to the security structure.
