    yeah...no I meant that the terms are shitty by comparison in the scale of loan costs and charges as things are.

    It's easy for DH to open an account in HK. Our DH opened one at BOC in one day. She got an ATM card, online access to her account.

    Indeed, ours opened one with HSBC, no issues at all. I even applied for a complimentary credit card (so linked to my account that is) for her and it was approved.

    Advertising here, agencies, own network, Helper Choice..where else to find helper?

    I'm currently going through 2 agencies, my own network, and actively on Helper Choice to find a helper.

    I know I can place an ad here as well to maximize my chance of finding a helper.

    Wondering if there's anything else I can do or where else to look?

    Thanks!

    Are you on Facebook? - the group Hong Kong Moms and other local groups eg Southside Mums have regular postings by people leaving and looking for employers for their helper.
