BANK ACCOUNT OPENING

Setting up your business in Hong Kong? A bank account is not just a convenience — it’s essential. Whether you’re a local entrepreneur or an overseas business, Zytrex helps you overcome jurisdictional challenges and opens the path to smooth financial operations.

Why You Need a Hong Kong Bank Account

  • Legal Requirement for Business Activity: All Hong Kong-registered companies must maintain a bank account for their commercial transactions.

  • Credibility & Trust: A Hong Kong bank account enhances credibility with clients, suppliers, and payment platforms.

  • Cross-border Operations: Facilitates international payments, foreign exchange, and multi-currency receipts.

  • Operational Convenience: Pay salaries, settle invoices, and manage daily expenses seamlessly through local banking.

What We Offer

At Zytrex, we specialize in guiding both local and overseas entities through the entire bank-account opening process. Here’s how we make it frictionless:

  1. Document Preparation & Verification

    We assist you in compiling and organizing all required documents, such as:

    • Certified copies of passport(s) and proof of address

    • Company incorporation documents, board resolutions

    • Business plan or description of intended business activities

    • Bank reference letters, financial statements (where required)

  2. Bank Recommendations & Liaison

    Because of our relationships with prominent Hong Kong banks, we guide you to the most suitable institutions (mainland, international, or local) based on your business needs. We act as liaison between you and the bank to facilitate smoother communication.

  3. Non-Resident / Remote Account Opening Support

    You don’t need to be in Hong Kong or have a local ID. We specialize in supporting remote or international clients, helping you with document legalization / notarization and submitting everything on your behalf.

  4. Compliance & Due Diligence Assistance

    Banks in Hong Kong follow strict Know Your Customer (KYC) and anti-money laundering (AML) rules. We guide you step by step to ensure compliance, minimizing back-and-forth requests or delays.

  5. Ongoing Support & Maintenance

    Once the account is open, we offer ongoing advisory to maintain account health:

    • Assistance with bank correspondence

    • Renewals or updates of signatories

    • Addressing compliance questions

    • Integration with accounting & bookkeeping
