    Type of account/which bank??

    Hi everybody!! I will be moving to HK in the end of July to study. I will be living with my family and I was wondering if it'd make sense to set up a bank account (e.g. for cell phone plan). I will not have a "real" income besides the allowance my parents will pay me. I have a account in Germany right now but I suppose that using that one in HK might be difficult/not make much sense?? I'd like a debit card with my account. So yeah...are there accounts like that and which bank should I chose??
    Any help is appreciated

    Hi saltnpepper,
    Any bank would be fine.

    If all you need is a savings account with a debit card (EPS in Hong Kong, similar to EC/Maestro in Germany), HSBC will probably be the most convenient bank for you.
