March 15, 2018 by Sapore di Cina

Business Prepaid Card for your Hong Kong Company

As you probably already know if you are reading this article, getting a business credit card from an Hong Kong bank may be difficult.

If you couldn’t find a way to get one, but your business still need a card in order to paid bills online or withdrawal cash at ATMs worldwide, then you can now get a prepaid card through an agency.

The agency fee is 5,000 HKD and here what you will get:

  • A prepaid card (Visa or MasterCard) that is reloadable and accepted world-wide for online purchase, cash withdrawal at ATMs, Points-of-Sales Terminals in over 210 countries;
  • Manage and monitor the account status and balance anywhere via ATM machine, internet, or smartphone application;
  • Maximum daily loading limit: 20,000 USD;
  • Type of card: Visa or MasterCard;
  • The card can be anonymous or with your name, and it’s not linked to a bank account (you can reload by sending money to the account connected to the card);
  • Monthly fee: 5 USD (more an initial one time fee of 15-20 USD for the card application and delivery).
