Hong Kong Bank Account Opening Service
Hong Kong is a great city for doing business and an ideal stepping stone into China and the Asian Pacific Region. Unfortunately, it has recently become much more difficult to open a bank account in Hong Kong due to a flood of new banking requirements stemming from newly introduced laws and regulations from various organisations (e.g. the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, the Financial Action Task Force, the OECD etc.) in order to comply with new global standards regarding Know-Your-Customer Policies (KYC), Anti-Money-Laundering (AML) etc.
Our solution
As a banking expert and professional service provider we comprehensively analyse and recommend on the best approach regarding the company incorporation together with the bank account opening in Hong Kong.
We are here to support our customers in the daunting and complex task of preparing the account opening documentation. 8 - 12 hours of detailed preparation must be expected.
Services include:
In-depth understanding of customers background and business expectations (incl. discussion with our network of professionals consisting of accountants, CPA's, lawyers etc.)
Advising on the appropriate company structure and selection of a suitable banking partner
Arrange for a bank meeting for the corporate bank account opening
Preparation of certified documents of the Hong Kong company by a CPA etc. for the bank

We accompany customers to the bank and in some cases join during the bank interview meeting
