Savings Account

How to open a bank account online?

Even if you are not a permanent resident in Hong Kong, you can still open a bank account in Hong Kong. If you are an EU, US or Australian passport holder, the entire process should not be complicated. It can take up to 2 weeks to complete the entire account opening process. However, you won’t be able to open a bank account remotely because you need to prove your identity as a result of increased amounts of money laundering and other illegal activities. You are required to make an appointment and attend a branch in person to open your account.
