It is becoming more and more difficult for Hong Kong companies to open a bank account from 18, but it is not impossible to open an account. Customers with good qualifications and complete account opening materials may still succeed.
Generally speaking, Hong Kong banks can open accounts in two ways:
Shareholders apply to open an account in a Hong Kong bank,
Entrust an agency to assist in handling (secretarial company or channel).
The general process of applying for opening a Hong Kong bank account is as follows:
1. Choose a suitable Hong Kong bank to apply for opening a Hong Kong bank account.
2. Prepare all the information needed to open an account and submit it to the manager of the Bank of Hong Kong for preliminary examination.
3. After the preliminary examination of the materials is passed, you can make an appointment for an interview.
4. Bring the account opening materials to Hong Kong for an account opening interview in person within the agreed time (witness that the account opening is an interview for a domestic branch).
5. After the interview is passed, the bank manager will review the account opening information provided according to the interview.
6. After approval, materials such as bank cards, encoders and password letters will be sent out within a certain period of time.
7. At this point, the Hong Kong bank account has been successfully opened.
Information required to open an account:
1. Identification documents of directors of Hong Kong companies: ID card, Hong Kong and Macao pass, business card, entry paper and proof of address;
