Banking Arrangements

Print
You are advised to open a bank account in Hong Kong. You will need to transfer money for immediate use when you arrive here. This can be done:

(a)  
by instructing an overseas bank to send money in your name to a bank in Hong Kong; or

(b) by depositing travellers cheques or a bank draft in a local account (personal cheques can also be deposited but may take as long as three weeks to be cleared).

Student under 18 must be accompanied in person by their parent(s) or legal guardian to open a bank account at one of our local banks.  The Universiy is not able to act as your guardian in this context.
