    What’s the best Line of Credit to get?

    I am looking to get a loan or line of credit to purchase goods.

    I do bank with BOCHK and Standard Chartered HK.

    What’s my best option?

    Secondly, I make my money in mainland China…. Any clue how I proof my income to get a loan?

    Will be hard to get unsecured lending in a jurisdiction you don't live and/or earn money since there's no way to collect when you default.

    If you are legally resident in China why not get it there?

    Yes, this is a challenge…. I did look into getting a mortgage in HK but was basically told is hard to proof income from mainland….

    I am legally allowed to live in mainland China for as long as I like but they definitely treatment differently…. 1 country 2 systems….

    I am discussing with Bank of China mainland to see if there are ways…. So far, i am treated as foreigner….


    Is not a huge deal, just want to flexibility of a line of credit…. I do want to buy a toy lately and make payments instead of lump sum...

    If you have a HK bank or broker.......own stocks or fixed deposits and you can secure a lending facility against those assets....
