Latest Hong Kong Account Opening Guide
1. Key points summary.
1. Bank of China and HSBC do not require appointments; just go early.
2. Check if the endorsement has expired. If expired, it’s not a big problem; just find an endorsement machine near the port to renew, though it mainly will take time.
3. Regarding proof of address, if it is the address on the ID card, no proof is needed; if not, it is required. It's best to use the credit card bill address.
4. Confirm the port in advance. Futian, Luohu, and Lian Tang are the main crossing ports. It’s better to arrive early; otherwise, the waiting time can be very long. I chose Lian Tang port because it has fewer people, and transportation is cheap. The 49S bus to Sheung Shui costs HKD 9.9, and there is a bank street in Sheung Shui, which is very convenient.
