FAQs

Can I Open a Company Account Without Coming to Hong Kong?

Not necessarily. Many payment institutions and some banks offer remote account opening for companies, but requirements vary by institution.

How Long Will My Account Application Take?

Online banks usually reach a decision sooner than traditional banks, which can take several weeks. Actual timing depends on each institution’s review.

Traditional Bank or Online Bank: Where Should I Apply First?

For new businesses without a past operational record, we recommend applying with an online bank due to its faster and simpler process. If you have an existing business with a proven track record, consider applying to both online and traditional banks. This allows you to quickly access an online account while awaiting the traditional bank's approval.

How Do Online Banks Compare with Traditional Banks?

Online banks offer a fast and straightforward application process, along with a variety of payment products like multicurrency accounts. Typically, new businesses start with online banks and may transition to traditional banks later. One reason is that online banks can ask more questions about individual payments.

Are Online Banks Safe?

"Online banks" are not traditional banks but payment institutions partnered with traditional banks. Providers like Airwallex or Aspire do not hold banking licenses; instead, client funds are generally held in segregated accounts with partner banks such as DBS or Standard Chartered, which are licensed banks regulated by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority. Protection arrangements differ from a traditional bank deposit, so please check each provider’s terms.

Can I Use an Online Bank Account with My Customers?

However, when using online banks like Airwallex or Aspire, your account details may show the name of their partner bank (e.g. DBS or Standard Chartered) rather than the online bank itself.

Can I Pay and Get Paid Internationally from a Hong Kong Account?

Hong Kong has no foreign exchange controls, and most accounts we help open include support for over 10 currencies. A Hong Kong company and bank account are well suited to international transactions.
