Hello,
my objective is to move some cash/funds overseas in other stable jurisdictions/out of Hong Kong. Just a precaution.
Preferable Singapore or Switzerland.
Contacted HSBC to open a premier bank account and based on their information.
If a Premier customer intends to open a bank account in another jurisdiction, the branch refers to contact the IPB after premier account opening.
Just wonder about the reality:
If there are no red flags, will the account opening really be done? Or you need to give a lengthy explanation about the reasons to open in another jurisdiction?
Any experience with other priority banking services like Citigold, Standard Chartered(?) ?
Would it be fruitful to fly to Singapore and just try my luck to open an account there with a "local bank" like DBS, OCBC?
I tried Switzerland and they were not really keen on foreigners.
