Accounts are open finally
Friday January 29th:
So I finally opened up a new bank account with Hang Seng Bank in Central. The process is actually not that bad for those that want to come to Hong Kong to work or start up a business. The people at Hang Seng bank were very helpful in reducing fees for international transfers as well as getting my accounts set up properly. They also took care of my online banking needs and had a new ATM card for me immediately. One of the best things about Hang Seng bank are their ATMs which are conveniently located all over Hong Kong. I found that their ATMs also allow foreign withdrawals as well which Bank of China did not. Other than setting up my accounts, today was spent mostly applying to jobs and getting more electronic stuff organized and optimized.
