Why is it so difficult for mainlanders to open an account in a Hong Kong bank?
There are three reasons. 1. Due to the financial influence of the Federal Reserve, in many cases, Hong Kong is a big port for capital and foreign exchange. Many companies registered in Hong Kong and making money in the Mainland have remitted their money to other countries before they have finished making money.

2. The international forms are changeable, and money laundering activities related to terrorism are rampant in Hong Kong, a big Asian port, and the Hong Kong government is also very strict.

3. At present, the tax system in the Mainland is linked with Hong Kong. In order to avoid tax evasion from the Mainland to Hong Kong, we must strictly control it.

The policy of cracking down on money laundering, tax evasion and foreign exchange evasion issued by the local government in Hong Kong is the core problem of the difficulty for mainlanders to open accounts in Hong Kong.

So how to solve it?

On-site account opening:

1. Go to the counter in Hong Kong and open an account directly. You probably have incomplete information. Go to the lobby first with all the documents you need. 1. Mainland resident identity card.

2. Hong Kong and Macao Pass.

3. A statement with the address and name of the account holder as the supporting document (within 3 months)?

4. Customs clearance receipt.

Some banks need proof of address. Get these things ready first.

I'd like to recommend several other banks in Hong Kong with uncomplicated procedures: HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank, Citibank, Hang Seng Bank and Wing Lung Bank.

Online account opening: You can also choose a bank witnessed by a mainland bank to open an account online: the top eight banks can witness accounts in the mainland: ICBC, CCB, BOC, Hang Seng, Minsheng, HSBC, Wing Lung and China Merchants. It is relatively simple for ICBC to directly choose online banking login → personal finance → interbank finance → ICBC Financial Asia Witness.
