Opening an account from Hong Kong.
Your account manager sends one document list: certificate of incorporation, register of directors and owners, identity and address for each, proof of business address, a recent bank statement and two or three invoices or contracts that show the trade. With the list complete, most accounts are live within days. The full list and timings are on the Eligibility page.
Helm is a financial technology company, not a bank. Accounts and payments are provided through licensed partners named in your account agreement; see Security.
