Hong Kong Banking with the right intro is still definitely possible for Offshore Jurisdictions however a Seychelles IBC in 2025 has basically no justification at all - Hong Kong Banks are definitely willing to onboard Panama Companies due to the strong ties Chinese have with Panama.

If you have a physical product and at least 40% of the finishing process in Panama you have massive tax benefits exporting to the US from Panama - a lot of Chinese Companies using this Scheme and that's why Panama as a Jurisdiction is not unknown to Hong Kong Banks.

Same goes for Jurisdictions like BVI & Cayman which are heavily used by Wealthy Individuals in China for setting up SPV's, Family Office and for Wealth Management.

As you can see a Seychelles IBC doesn't have any justification or ties to China and therefore it's not a surprise that no Bank in Hong Kong in 2025 is opening for a Seychelles IBC.

Nowadays your best bet to open a Business Bank Account for your Seychelles IBC is Mauritius but even here you need to have some kind of justification why you setup in Seychelles.

Bottom Line you have the Offshore Banks in Belize, Nevis and other Caribbean Islands lacking proper Correspondent Bank and Wire Transfer Instructions or Eastern European Countries - Seychelles doesn't have any strong homebase of Banks either which are all focused on Resident Banking.

Potentially you think about changing your Place of Incorporation.
