Commonly requested information

  • Certificate of Incorporation, current Business Registration Certificate and articles.
  • Current director, member and officer information and relevant resolutions or signing mandates.
  • HKID or passport and address evidence for the directors, beneficial owners, signatories or others the provider identifies.
  • A structure chart tracing corporate owners to the relevant individuals, with supporting entity records.
  • Contracts, invoices, business plans or other evidence of the company's activities.
  • Source-of-funds evidence and the expected currencies, payment volumes, counterparties and countries.

Corporate ownership may add documentation whether the immediate owner is local or overseas. Ask the provider about the age of documents, translations, acceptable certifiers and any originals or interviews required. A general checklist does not replace its application-specific instructions.
