    hi , problem with hsbc need to consult with you guys

    hi there,

    i open a commercial bank account for my hong kong register company.
    in some of my document there is an address confirmation.
    the bank hsbc in wan chai refuse to let me open a "personal" bank account
    since they did not accept the document for the personal one
    but they did receive it to the commercial one confused me to?
    i ask my bank to send me an address prof ASAP
    but i must go business in china mainland , so it's will delay till next month
    i gave them pdf print of the same address proof which they did not accep
    (in the commercial bank account i had other statement mad by my accountant)
    so now i wait to get the original address statement from my bank back home
    (i showed them online bank account other company i hold bank account atc)

    1. i want to know if you think i can sue them for that, if i got a case
    2. i want to know if there is any body, government office that supervise the bank in hong kong
    3. reasonable price lawyer to sue the bank for 100,000 hkd if there is a case
    (i dont sue high so better be not expensive one) and it's regular court?

    thanks everyone

    What do you think you can sue them for? What damages did you incur as a result of not having a bank account? I don't think HSBC, or any other bank for that matter, are obliged to open an account for you.

    Your story is hard to understand... Sounds like you didn't have an original address proof for your personal account - a utility bill should be pretty easy to provide...

    I hope the courts do not waste our tax dollars on your case, it sounds like you're just impatient and not following the procedures set out by HSBC..

    i got hsbc commercial account register in hsbc few day ago.
    at the same branch i asked to open a personal bank account
    based on the document confirm my address in the commercial bank account.
    it's does not sense to me why bank will open commercial bank account
    for a company owner, and wont accept same document for personal account
    it's make not logic.

    i'm a jewish guy, we known to be good with business and money
    if i say it's make no logic, it's make no logic.

    you hope you court? my accounting firm does not earn money from me in hk? i dont pay tax
    for your government? the bank wont make commission for each and each transaction
    it's just show since uk left hong kong you get back to the sources few hundreds of year from
    now hong kong will become "pavellas" or rubbish

    so hsbc been recommended to me. are there is any regulatory for the banks here in general?

    Yes, banks are regulated here. As emx said, there are many choices for banking in HK.

    if you "do 6 capital city's a year", don't you already have contacts in the banking industry? Or is all of this just "massive movement" in your imagination?
