Hong Kong Bank Accounts

As banks in Europe come under increased pressure to disclose the identities of account holders, Hong Kong bank accounts become more attractive. Hong Kong remains immune to the erosion of banking secrecy in countries such as Switzerland, and enjoys an excellent reputation as a stable, reputable banking and financial centre. Healy Consultants assists international entrepreneurs open Hong Kong bank accounts to fulfill their business objectives. The following is an overview of the features of Hong Kong bank accounts in general.
1.	Hong Kong bank accounts are perfect for international trading because they are available in multiple currencies and with excellent Internet banking facilities. This ensures the efficient receipt of payments from clients around the world, as well as ensuring easy funds transfers to global suppliers.
2.	To enhance its status as a legitimate, reputable banking centre, Hong Kong banks impose strict due diligence requirements. Consequently, international business people should budget for Hong Kong bank account opening to be completed in four to six weeks.
3.	Hong Kong bank accounts are seen as a more secure long-term option for international entrepreneurs. Hong Kong retains strong banking confidentiality laws, while upholding Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) standards.
4.	Healy Consultants will prepare a complete Hong Kong bank account application within two weeks (this includes completing application forms and preparing a business plan to support the application). The bank typically takes two weeks to review and approve the application and provide Hong Kong bank account numbers. A further two weeks later the bank issues Internet passwords and ATM cards. Healy Consultants will open the Hong Kong bank account without our client needing to travel to Hong Kong. Our Firm is one of the few global professional firms that can do this.
5.	To open a Hong Kong bank account, clients usually have to provide the following information:
	i)	A detailed business plan giving details of the products and services to be offered by the company, an analysis of the market conditions and information on shareholders, directors and bank signatories;
	ii)	Examples of contracts and invoices for the newly-incorporated company to support the application;
	iii)	Recent proof of address and passport copies of the bank signatories (in English).
