Corporate bank accounts in Hong Kong and abroad
Opening a corporate account has become the hardest step for international businesses. We prepare, position and support your application — with introductions to banks and payment institutions that fit your profile.
Banking access, engineered for approval
Since global compliance tightened, opening a corporate bank account — especially for a company with international ownership — can be slow and unpredictable. Banks now demand detailed evidence of your business model, substance and source of funds before they say yes.
Nominarium removes the guesswork. We assess your profile, identify the banks and licensed payment institutions most likely to accept it, and prepare a compelling, compliant application file that answers the questions before they are asked.
From traditional Hong Kong banks to international digital-banking and EMI solutions, we position your application, make warm introductions where possible, and support you all the way to a live, operational account.

Good to know
Frequently asked questions
Can you guarantee the account will be opened?
No advisor can honestly guarantee a bank’s decision — approval always rests with the institution. What we do is dramatically improve your chances by targeting the right banks and presenting an application built to their standards.
Do I need to travel for the account?
It depends on the institution. Some Hong Kong banks require an in-person meeting; many international banks and EMIs allow fully remote onboarding. We advise you upfront.
Which currencies can I hold?
Most corporate accounts we arrange are multi-currency, typically covering HKD, USD, EUR and CNY, among others.
Can a company with a nominee director open an account?
Yes. Banks will identify the beneficial owner regardless, and our nominee structures are designed to be fully transparent to banks while remaining private on the public register.
