Hong Kong Bank Account
Kaizen will help client’s company to open a corporate account with a leading international bank in Hong Kong or a bank in an offshore jurisdiction, including preparation of certified incorporation documents as required by the bank, reviewing of bank account application documents prepared by client and liaison with the bank in respect of the bank account application. Please note the bank requires at least a director (and also the authorised signatory) visit their Hong Kong branch personally for the purpose of due diligence requirements.
In case where a bank account with a traditional bank could not be opened successfully, we will assist client to set up an account with an electronic money institutions (EMI), such as Wise and Airwallex.
It should also be emphasised that our role is limited to providing assistance and it is the sole discretion of the bank/EMI to decide whether to open the bank account or not. We do not assume any reliability should the bank decides not to open the bank account for you.
