2. BANK
INTRODUCTION
SERVICES
Accoplus Limited is successfully supporting international clients for their
business or private banking bank account openings.
Our managers: a Swiss Certified Financial Consultant, permanent resident in
Hong Kong and a Hong Kong Certified Public Accountant are personally
following up each bank introduction.
We are offering bank opening services in Hong Kong, with local companies or
offshore structures, we have a short selection of banks and depending on the
customer profile, as well as the company activities, we will suggest the best
option. The bank account opening meetings are mostly held at our Central
office with full support, before and during the meeting, of Accoplus team.
For clients unwilling to travel to Hong Kong you have the possibility to open
business bank accounts in Mauritius and with different jurisdictions.
If we believe that your bank account opening could be difficult due to the
nature of your company activities, your customers or suppliers, your country
of residence or your passport, you will be IMMEDIATELY informed with a
guess estimate of the success rate.
www.bank-kyc.com is informing you about the documents and questions
frequently asked by financial institutions.
3. OUR SERVICES
Often in Hong Kong the bank opening services are considered as the simple
organization of a meeting with the required bank, this is ABSOLUTELY NOT our
point of view, as our process is reflected below:
We will analyze your risk level in term of bank compliance, we understand
enough about our partner’s requirements to define depending on your profile
what will be exactly required.
We communicate with you and we are guiding you for the preparation of the
documents we believe the bank will request; we proof read and check the
necessary information.
We prepare an information note to the bank, explaining your profile and
documenting the compliance.
We setup the meeting, we talk on your behalf, and we assist you by a good
understanding of your activities and banking needs.
Some customers, very few, will require mainly because of their country
of residence, nationality and activities a specific guidance and heavier
presentation, they will be informed accordingly for the prices changes.
We obviously respect the AML/FATF laws and regulations, while preserving
during and after the process a total confidentiality.

Know Your Customers is a process which is implemented by
all banks in order to minimize the risks of money laundering
and criminal use of bank accounts.
The most important factor is the notion of Ultimate Beneficiary
Owner, a clear identification of each individual shareholder
with a passport copy as well as a proof of residence.
Origins of the funds is obviously a concern, mainly for
companies with intensive cash flow needs and / or important
investments and for private individuals opening a private
banking account for their wealth management.
Our bank introduction services will help you define the number
and type of documents to be presented and prepare with you
the compliance explanations for the financial institution.
We will support you during the entire process process, organizing
the remittance of documents, preparing the certified true
copies, handling potential certifications and translations and
acquiring a deep knowledge of your activities.
We will be able to introduce you and your company with
proper information and documents to the bank, reducing
drastically the risk of bank account opening rejection or
termination at a later stage.
A clear identification of the potential concerns, your nationality
and country of residence or your activities could trigger
additional questioning; this understanding allow us to be well
received by the banks as we are proactive and responsive.
For all the banks in Hong Kong the mandatory bank meeting
will often being held at our office with our assistance.
