Warm reminder:

(1) Because the Hong Kong and Macao passes and passports have validity periods, the ID number will also change every time you change the ID, so please apply for a bank account. Record the number of the certificate used at that time so that you can check or update the information with the bank in the future.

(2) The issue date of the address proof is a statement in my name within three months, such as water bill, electricity bill, gas bill, bank bill, insurance company bill, telecommunications company bill, letter from the government, etc. . It must be a mailed letter. The address on the envelope is not accepted. It can only be the address printed on the bill. It also needs to have my name and the date of issue. If you use an electronic bill, you can also print out the above content in the bill as proof of address.

Extended information:

If you are a mainland enterprise opening a bank account in Hong Kong, you need to pay attention to the following.

1. Hong Kong banks require more than two-thirds of the company’s directors and shareholders with a shareholding ratio of more than 9 (preferably all directors and shareholders go) to go to the bank in person to open an account. If the account signer or company director is a mainlander, he must hold a Chinese passport or a travel permit to Hong Kong and Macau to open an account.

2. If it is inconvenient for other directors and shareholders who are not required to be present to open an account directly in a Hong Kong bank, they can sign the account opening documents (commonly known as signature witnessing) at a Hong Kong bank branch in China, and the Hong Kong head office will send the documents to Go to the branch and then open an account. Since this type of account opening is complicated, you can check with professional institutions before opening an account.
