These days there are three ways of handling payments for your company in Hong Kong:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"space-list\">\n<li>Open a &#8220;traditional&#8221; bank account in Hong Kong (this as I already mentioned has become complicated, as I will explain in detail later in this article);<\/li>\n<li>Open an off-shore bank account: this could be simpler but is more expensive, and would also make it very hard to accept payments through Paypal or credit cards via Stripe or Braintree (the companies used by the majority);<\/li>\n<li>Open an <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/currenxie.com\/onboarding\/signup?campaign=saporedicina&#038;referrer=slow-travel-design\" rel=\"noopener nofollow noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;alternative&#8221; account with Currenxie<\/a><\/strong>, which offers business accounts in Hong Kong that can be opened for free, allowing you to make, send, and receive payments (local and international) under your company name, and accept payments through all your major online payment gateways (Paypal, Amazon, Stripe)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In this article, we will describe these three options. We\u2019ll start with Currenxie, since it&#8217;s the simplest.<strong><!--more--><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"bank-account-hong-kong-1\">How to open a Currenxie business account in Hong Kong<\/h2>\n<h3>Pros<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Fast and easy to open<\/li>\n<li>You can get a bank account number so that you can send and receive money in several currencies (HKD, USD, EUR, and more)<\/li>\n<li>You can integrate the account with Paypal, Stripe, Amazon Pay, Square, and many other services<\/li>\n<li>You can open the account online (without being in Hong Kong), and hold multi-currencies <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Cons<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>It is not a &#8220;traditional&#8221; bank, and according to your needs, this might be an issue.

Approval usually takes 3 business days, but it might take longer if Currenxie requires additional documents. <\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/currenxie.com\/onboarding\/signup?campaign=saporedicina&#038;referrer=slow-travel-design\" rel=\"noopener nofollow noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Click here<\/a> to take a look at Currenxie&#8217;s website (or immediately apply to open a business account if you prefer)<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"bank-account-hong-kong-2\">How to open a &#8220;traditional&#8221; business account in Hong Kong<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Pros<\/strong>: access to a multi-currency account (HKD, USD, EUR, etcetera); integrated with Paypal, Stripe and Braintree; you may be offered credit (depending on the situation).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cons<\/strong>: Opening one has become extremely slow and complex (so much so that without using an agency it&#8217;s almost a lost cause, at least for small companies); it can cost a lot; customer service is rather slow; you have to be in Hong Kong to open the bank account. <\/p>\n<p>As was already mentioned, the time has passed when you could show up at any branch and open up a business account in one day just by showing your passport, your curriculum, your company&#8217;s documents and a business plan (this is exactly what I did in 2013, without any business experience).<\/p>\n<p>Just this year, we opened another business bank account for another company, and the process was somewhat more complicated. Here are the documents that they asked us for: <\/p>\n<ul class=\"space-list\">\n<li>Passport and curriculum of shareholders and directors (the usual at this point);<\/li>\n<li>Business plan (a much more detailed version than the one they asked for in 2013, but still few surprises here);<\/li>\n<li>Documentation about the company you want to open a bank account for (certificate of incorporation, business license, etcetera, all standard procedure);\n<li>10,000 HKD (the cost for opening the account) plus 10,000 HKD to deposit (which they paid back); note that the amount depends on the bank you choose;<\/li>\n<li>The director&#8217;s business experience, including accounting balances of the other firms where the director (or directors) is a shareholder and active participant. This is the point that made me reflect a little bit since it means that if you don&#8217;t already have a company with at least a year&#8217;s worth of experience, opening a business bank account seems like it would be impossible;<\/li>\n<li>Months, since many of the documents need to be certified by a notary (or at least an official accepted by Hong Kong) or they&#8217;re not readily available. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So, compared to the past, the biggest problem was the time needed to open the account together with the fact that if you don&#8217;t already have a company (which can also be in another country, not necessarily in Hong Kong), opening a business bank account has become extremely difficult (if not impossible). <\/p>\n<p>Moreover, and this is important, we never would have been able to open a bank account without the help of an onsite agency.<\/p>\n<p>To all this, there&#8217;s the added costs for the bank, the notaries and accountants, and the agency. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.saporedicina.com\/english\/how-to-register-a-company-in-hong-kong\/#hkcompany-inquiry\" rel=\"noopener nofollow noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Click here<\/a> if you&#8217;re interested in contacting an agency that helps you to open a bank account for your business in Hong Kong (or to open your business, if this is the option you&#8217;re interested in at the moment). <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"bank-account-hong-kong-3\">How to open an off-shore business account for your company in Hong Hong<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Pro<\/strong>: at the moment it seems that it&#8217;s easier than opening a &#8220;traditional&#8221; bank account in Hong Kong.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cons<\/strong>: Can be expensive; also receiving payments via Paypal, Stripe or Braintree can be difficult (if not impossible); this is an off-shore account, so you should consider the tax implications, whether for the business or the director&#8217;s personal taxes (depending on where you are a resident, check the CFC regulations which vary according to country of residence). <\/p>\n<p>Even when opening an off-shore account, in the majority of cases you&#8217;ll need to use an agency (if they offer this service it may be easier to use the agency that helped you open the firm, but that isn&#8217;t always possible).<\/p>\n<p>In this case, the bureaucratic process (along with the costs) will change according to where you decide to open your off-shore account (opening it in the Seychelles Islands is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saporedicina.com\/english\/how-to-open-a-company-in-singapore\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">quite different than opening one in Singapore<\/a>). <\/p>\n<p>Note that if you intend to accept payments via Paypal, Stripe, Braintree or similar services, I don&#8217;t recommend that you use this option. <\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a practical reason for this: when you open a Paypal business account, for example, you have to enter your company&#8217;s address associated with the account (so an address in Hong Kong, in this case). And, from my personal experience (I own 3 Paypal business accounts, in various countries), Paypal only allows you to connect a bank account from the same country (Hong Kong). <\/p>\n<p>So, as I found out, you can&#8217;t transfer Paypal funds to an off-shore account (which by definition it wouldn&#8217;t be located in Hong Kong). It&#8217;s a similar situation with Stripe. I&#8217;ve never personally used Braintree, but I suppose the situation is more or less the same considering that these limitations are due to capital control laws (which must be obeyed by all financial services such as Paypal, Stripe, etcetera). <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.saporedicina.com\/english\/how-to-register-a-company-in-hong-kong\/#hkcompany-inquiry\" rel=\"noopener nofollow noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Click here<\/a> if you&#8217;d like to contact an agency that can help you open an off-shore bank account for your company in Hong Kong (or to open your business, if this is what you&#8217;re most interested in at the moment). <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"bank-account-hong-kong-4\">Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n<div itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/FAQPage\">\n<div itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n<div itemprop=\"name\" class=\"accordionsdc\">Can a foreigner open a business bank account in Hong Kong?<\/div>\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\" class=\"faqpanel\">\n<div itemprop=\"text\">Yes, there are no regulations that limit business (or personal) bank account access to foreigners in Hong Kong.
