Never deal with HSBC remotely. I learnt my lesson the hard way 🙁. This video‌ sums up the reality.

Speak to any local advisor‍ that is totally independent.

I would never deal remotely with HSBC again if it is⁠ the last bank on earth.

Search for Formation/Registration/Accounting Company in HK, they handle foreign client intros for local Banks.

But for HK Bank, you need to be in HK and present a good biz plan‌ why you wanna Bank there, forget the remote way.

The ones that don't boast they can introduce you to XYZ bank. However I get‍ your point "totally independent "is a relative term. Every advisor is going to have a⁠ personal bias based on their own past experience 🙁.
