Hello,
I live in China (Xi'an) for 3 years now.
Chinese bank accounts are still limited when it comes to international bank transfers, foreign currencies and so on.
That's why I need an account with a HK bank.
I know there are already some threads about this, but situation has changed (since 1st of March this year).
I heard/read a lot about problems now with regard to opening a bank account in HK as a non-resident. Especially for US citizens (I am German).
Is there someone who recently opened such an account?
I can provide my
- German passport (valid until 2020)
- my Chinese Residence Permit (valid until March 2015)
- my address registration at the police in Xi'an (few days old, stamped and with passport ID, residence permit ID)
- the rental contract of my apartment in Xi'an (with my address and passport ID on it)
What more I need to open an account ?
I am interested in
- online banking in English
- transferring and receiving money online and internationally (SWIFT/IBAN)
- trading with stock funds and shares
- multi-currency account (USD, EUR, RMB)
Any recommendations? hints?
Thanks for any kind of information.
Tom
P.S.: it is urgent, I will be in Hong Kong next week on MON and TUE.
