Bank Account Opening
Establishing a bank account is a fundamental step in launching and managing a successful business.
Choosing to open a bank account in Hong Kong brings numerous benefits. It provides access to world-class banking services, multi-currency accounts for seamless foreign transactions, and alignment with your broader business objectives.
Furthermore, Hong Kong's robust banking infrastructure makes it an ideal location to strengthen your business's financial foundation.
How does it work?
Without the right guidance, opening a bank account in Hong Kong can be a lengthy process, taking months from application submission to having a fully operational account.
Based on your business needs, we can assist in opening a Traditional Bank Account with tier-1 banks or a Digital Bank account with our select Neobank partners.
A unique feature of Hong Kong's banking system is that banks do not require permanent residency to open a bank account.
What is Neobanking?
Virtual or neo banks in Hong Kong are banks operating without any physical branches.
They provide banking services such as deposits, payments, and transfers through secure online and mobile platforms. Launched as part of Hong Kong's initiative to promote fintech innovation, these banks offer a convenient, fast, and user-friendly alternative to conventional banking.
They offer retail services either by securing their license or partnering with other licensed banks, often featuring competitive fees, round-the-clock access, real-time transactions, and innovative financial solutions.
