Can you help with opening a bank account remotely, or is it necessary to visit Hong Kong in person to complete the process?

Bank account opening procedures vary by institution:

• Traditional banks (HSBC, Standard Chartered, Bank of China):

  • Usually require physical meetings between bank representatives and company directors in Hong Kong

  • Some have introduced video KYC options since the pandemic, but with limitations

• Modern financial institutions (Airwallex, Neat, Statrys):

  • Often provide fully digital onboarding

  • Can complete KYC procedures online without physical presence

  • May offer more limited services compared to traditional banks

Our Hong Kong company secretary services can advise on the most suitable option based on your location, business needs, and timeline requirements.

Our Hong Kong company secretary services can help ensure you meet all deadlines and compliance obligations. Non-compliance can result in penalties, disqualification of directors, or even company deregistration.
