Easily Confused: Deposit Method Codes vs Withdrawal Channel Codes
These two coding systems are completely independent. Deposit method codes (1–10) identify how users transfer money in, appearing in the Apply.way field; withdrawal channel codes (method strings) identify how the system transfers money out, appearing in the Task.method field. They never appear in the same table.
Application/Task Status Codes
Easily Confused: Apply.status vs Task.status vs Flow.status
Three "status codes" belong to different entities: Apply.status = deposit application status (where a deposit has progressed to); Task.status = withdrawal task status (where a withdrawal has progressed to); Flow.status = bank statement status (whether a statement has been processed). The numbers mean different things — Apply.status=2 is "completed", Task.status=2 is also "completed" but that's just coincidence, and Flow.status=2 means "error".
Deposit Application Status (Apply Status)

|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | PENDING | Pending | User has submitted application, awaiting bank statement matching |
| 1 | PROCESSING | Processing | Statement matched, deposit in progress |
| 2 | DONE | Completed | Deposit successful, funds credited to securities account |
| 3 | REJECTED | Rejected | Operations rejected (e.g., risk control block, info mismatch) |
| 4 | CANCEL | Cancelled | User voluntarily cancelled application |
| 5 | REVERSE | Reversed | Credited funds have been recalled (refund) |
Withdrawal Task Status (Task Status)
| Status Code | Constant | Description | Explanation |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | PENDING | Pending | Task created, awaiting approval |
| 1 | PROCESSING | Processing | Approval in progress |
| 2 | DONE | Completed | Withdrawal successful, funds remitted |
| 3 | REJECTED | Rejected | Approval not passed |
| 4 | WITHDRAW | Withdrawn | User voluntarily withdrew |
| 5 | REVERSE | Reversed | Remitted funds have been recalled |
Bank Statement Status Codes (Flow Status)
| Status Code | Constant | Description | Explanation |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | PROCESSING | Pending | Statement arrived, awaiting matching |
| 1 | DONE | Processed | Matched and deposit completed |
| 2 | ERROR | Error | Statement processing error |
| 3 | LOCK | Locked | Locked (operations is processing) |
| 4 | ON_WAY | In Transit | Funds in transit (cross-bank/cross-border transfer not yet received) |
| 9 | DELETE | Deleted | Statement voided or deleted |
Deposit Type

|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | NORMAL | Normal Mode | Standard flow: acquire statement → create deposit → approve → credit |
| 2 | PRE_APPROVAL | Pre-approval Mode | Used for Hong Kong online account opening scenario |

Matching Engine Evaluation Result (MatchResult)
The matching engine's evaluation result for a Flow-Apply pair:
| Result Code | Constant | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | RESULT_NOT | No match |
| 1 | RESULT_NORMAL | Assisted match (requires manual confirmation) |
| 2 | RESULT_DEPOSIT | Full match (eligible for auto-deposit) |
Statement Disposition Result (Flow Result)
The final disposition of a bank statement (Flow), recording how this statement was ultimately processed:
| Result Code | Constant | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | RESULT_MATCH | System auto-matched |
| 1 | RESULT_ARTIFICIAL_MATCH | Manually matched |
| 2 | RESULT_APPLY | Active deposit |
| 3 | RESULT_REFUND | Refund |
| 4 | RESULT_OTHER | Other |
| 5 | RESULT_ABNORMAL | Emergency deposit |
| 6 | RESULT_AUTO | Auto-deposit |
Difference Between Two "Result Codes"
MatchResult is the matching engine's evaluation — does this Flow and Apply pair match? (3 values: 0/1/2) Flow Result is the statement's final disposition — how was this Flow ultimately processed? (7 values: 0–6) Do not confuse the two.

Easily Confused: eDDA vs eDDI vs Withdrawal Channels hase/hsbc
eDDA (authorization) and eDDI (debit instruction) are both deposit direct debit mechanisms — the bank debits from the user's account to Futu. The withdrawal channels hase/hsbc are corporate internet banking withdrawals — Futu transfers from its own account to the user. The directions are completely opposite. Although both involve Hang Seng/HSBC banks, they are not the same thing.
