Sorry for if I'm posting a redundant thread. I just arrived in HK and I need to open a basic bank account. I am absolutely horrified at all the fees the HK banks charge, as if it's not good enough for them to simply hold your money! I do not want an HSBC account - I had one in the UK and I don't like their online banking system among other reasons.
What bank has the lowest fees and perhaps minimum bank balance? Which has a simple online banking service and functions reasonable efficiently and well? Is there something similar to a credit union here? I will need to maybe have a few monthly standing orders or make regular transfers to other HK banks. Perhaps also an occasional overseas transfer.
Someone recommended Chong Hing Bank. Any commends or other recommendations?
