How do Chinese people open overseas bank accounts?
The easiest one is OCBC, Singapore's Overseas Chinese Bank. You can open an account online with just a passport and ID card. If it's fast, the authentication and activation will be completed in 10 minutes. If it's slow, it will take 2-3 days to review. I don't know why. Just download the OCBC Digital APP to open it.
Currently, it supports mainland, Hong Kong, Indonesia, and Malaysia identity activation. To open it, you need a mobile phone that supports NFC, which is used to identify the chip in the passport. If the phone cannot recognize it, try another phone.
You can also use a domestic card to deposit money to activate it. It may be the easiest and most convenient account at present.
The previous wise account can no longer be activated by depositing money with a domestic card. But it can be activated with OCBC.
Therefore, you have to hurry up to open an OCBC account.
