Can a natural person from the Mainland open an account in a Hong Kong bank?

Mainlanders can open accounts in Hong Kong banks, but with the implementation of CRS agreement and the formation of global anti-tax avoidance trend, it is increasingly difficult for Hong Kong banks to open accounts. I suggest you find a professional agency to help you open a Hong Kong bank account, which can improve the success rate of opening an account.

Generally speaking, opening a personal account in a Hong Kong bank requires the following information:

1. Personal ID card: provide the original ID card or passport and the original Hong Kong and Macao Pass (it is recommended to keep the white receipt at customs clearance).

2. Personal address certificate: it can be the credit card bill, water and electricity bill and so on in the last three months.

3. Account opening capital: The account opening capital required by each bank is slightly different, which can be cash or bank card.

The process of opening a personal account in a Hong Kong bank:

Provide all personal account opening information-hand it over to the manager of the cooperative bank in Hong Kong for pre-examination. After the pre-examination is passed, you can arrange the account opening time with the bank manager in Hong Kong-collect the account on the spot. Precautions for opening an account in a Hong Kong bank: 1. When I opened an account, I was asked that I didn't have the prepared documents. I should be anxious and go back to make up. 2. The operating rules of account opening in each branch are different, so it is not necessary to prepare account opening materials. 3. Accounts that are not used within two years will be frozen. When doing business in a bank, you must be sincere, low-key and practical. Different from domestic banks, Hong Kong banks pay more attention to business etiquette, and personal manners will directly affect the bank's first impression of the account holder. 5. After opening an account successfully, you should be careful to use it, especially if you enter and leave the account in large quantities in a short time, which is likely to be considered as suspicious transactions.
