HKAM Manhattan Platinum Card/ Fellowship Card

          

Fellows should have received a new Fellowship card in November 2003.  This new card is embedded with a smart chip and can be used to capture attendance in certain CME activities organized by the Academy and Colleges.

Fellows holding a HKAM Manhattan Platinum Card can also use it as Fellowship card.  For security reason, Fellows will have to bring their Platinum card in person to the Academy for  card initialization.  After the Platinum card has been initialized, it can be used as a credit card as well as Fellowship card to capture CME attendance electronically at certain events.  However, Fellows will have to initialize their Platinum card whenever a new card is issued to them. 

Card initialization can be done during normal office hours at the Secretariat on 10/F of the Academy Building, or at the Academy Lounge on the 3/F of the building during its operation hours. 

Fellows interested in applying for a HKAM Manhattan Platinum Card please contact the bankˇ¦s 24-hour Customer Service Hotline on 2210 2288.
