Offshore Bank account in Hong Kong

[svt]

Hello, you can open an offshore company in Hong Kong. I opened one last year for around 400 euros through a Chinese middleman company. You don;t need to stay there, it's like a virtual company. Profit tax is around 7% I think.

Hello, svt, did you also got a bank account in HK for the company?

 

[svt]

Unfortunately, NO bank account. You must go to HK in person to a bank to open a bank account, you can't do it online.

Also if you open the account through HSBC like suggested in another thread?

I have not read that thread that you mention but you CAN'T open a company bank account with HSBC from Finland or another country! You must go to HK to one of their offices. I read on an HSBC website this information because I also wanted to open a company account with HSBC online from Europe.

Also if you open the account through HSBC like suggested in another thread?

Is it at all not possible with any bank in HK to open an account without visiting them? I saw some information about the bank account opening in HK on the net where someone claimed it were possible, I will have to google a little and make some research.


Where did you end up to open the bank account?

 

[svt]

I have checked with HSBC, Hang Seng, Standard Chartered Bank and it is not possible with them. I believe, it is not possible with the other banks too. I had 2 chinese people check for me also.


I have not opened a bank accout yet. But I can do it anywhere in the world, it does not need to be in HK. I can open one in Bulgaria, just need the copies of the company documents to be verified.

Okay I see... but it would be better to have both bank account and company in HK as I see it.


Also I found the link on HSBC bank https://www.ebanking.hsbc.com.hk/1/2/help/open-account

I'm sorry to say so, but I read as well that it isn't possible to open a HK bank account online.

 

[svt]

I don't have time now to search for that page where it is written that yes, you can apply online BUT you MUST visit a HK branch of HSBC to process your application and open your account.


Yes, it is better to have the company and account at one and the same place.
