Hong Kong Corporate Bank Account

A company registered in Hong Kong still needs to satisfy a bank's own account-opening requirements. The provider will want to understand the business, its owners and how the account is expected to be used before deciding whether to accept the application.

Coutts Consultants can help prepare the application and introduce the company to a suitable third-party banking provider. We organise the company, ownership and business information so the application is clear and easy to understand.

Who this service is for

This service is suitable for new and established companies that need an account for customer receipts, suppliers, salaries and normal operating expenses.

The right provider depends on the business activity, ownership, expected transactions and countries involved.

What you will normally need

Providers commonly ask for company registration documents, details of directors and beneficial owners, identity and address evidence and information about the business.

They may also ask for contracts, invoices, a website, financial information or evidence showing where initial funds come from.

International owners and businesses

Overseas shareholders and cross-border trading can lead to additional questions about ownership, source of funds and expected payment flows.

We help present the information clearly. All applications remain subject to the provider's normal identity, AML and acceptance checks.

How Coutts Consultants can help

We review the company and banking requirement, help organise the application and make an introduction where a suitable provider is available.
