Personal HK bank account

If you check the forum, there are quite some people that were able to do so.

Personal HK bank account

Does anyone have experience opening a HK bank account (personal) being a non-resident? Directly or with an agent? Would be interested to hear your feedback.

Don't believe this BS.
Been an HK HSBC Premier for over a decade.

Had people, living in HK, who didn't believe how come I had an account with HSBC despite them being living there and with cash to deposit. And this was well before CRS.

There's no chance they will open your account remotely. Definitely not for a normal account. Then you are able to believe anything

Take a trip to Hong Kong. It's beautiful this time of year! Have dinner at the Man Wah – Hong Kong - a MICHELIN Guide Restaurant

Stay at the Mandarin Oriental or the Mandarin Landmark.

You'll love it!

i should try Man Wah. In Landmark at Mandarin Grill I had the best beef Wellington I have ever had. Highly recommend this one for a “western” dining experience

I am (low-key) insinuating to OP that a visit is needed for something like this. Most things can be resolved face-to-face. Inviting your banker to dinner at Man Wah is (almost) guaranteed to land you an account, and OP gets to enjoy the trip and some of the best cuisine Hong Kong has to offer. The banker will have actual photos of the OP at Man Wah.

All OP has to do is juxtapose the "Options"

If the banker seems "unimpressed/disinterested," I would kindly ask him to refer me to his personal favorite "service provider" with whom he works so I can invite the service provider to dinner at Man Wah and discuss my business/wealth management.

Or...OP can be magnanimous and invite his own service provider if he thinks that would help.

I lost count of how many accounts I opened in Hong Kong by inviting bankers to dinner at Man Wah or other equally impressive restaurants. All I know for sure is that NOT a single account has been denied using this method or similarly effective sugarcoating strategies.

PS. Now, the cat is OUT of the bag!
