How we deliver
On-site in Hainan
Our staff attend the authorities, the bank or the port in person.
Remote, by power of attorney
You sign once; we act for you without you travelling.
Typical timeline
Typically 1–3 weeks from business licence, depending on the bank's review.
Corporate RMB and capital accounts opened with banks in Hainan, foreign-exchange registration completed, and EF accounts arranged where your structure uses one.
What we handle
- Bank chosen for your transaction needs: RMB basic account, foreign-currency capital account, trade settlement
- Account-opening file pre-checked with the bank's account team before submission
- Appointment scheduling, and an interpreter at the bank interview
- Foreign-direct-investment registration so capital injections can be received
- Multi-functional free trade (EF) account where the structure and the bank support it
- Online banking, payment tokens and authorised signatories set up
How it works
- 01
Bank match
We shortlist banks that accept your ownership structure and transaction profile.
- 02
Pre-review
Your file goes to the bank's account team before the interview, so issues are fixed in advance.
- 03
Interview
The legal representative attends one appointment, or a video verification where the bank allows; we attend and interpret.
- 04
Activation
Accounts activated, online banking and signatories configured, foreign-exchange registration completed.
What we need from you
- Business licence and company seals (we can hold them for the day)
- The legal representative's passport and, where asked, proof of address
- Ownership chart up to the ultimate beneficial owners
- Expected transaction volumes, counterparties and source of funds
Good to know
Approval is the bank's decision and no adviser can guarantee it. What we control is the completeness of the file and the choice of bank, which decide most outcomes.
Case study
Untangling an SPV's Reporting Obligations After a Structure Change
A special purpose vehicle connected to a financing transaction changed its asset composition mid-year, and the regulatory reporting calendar built for its original structure no longer matched what was actually required.

What a Hainan Bank Actually Tests Before It Opens Your Account
Account opening is where a structure meets its first genuinely sceptical reviewer. The bank is testing whether the entity described on paper looks like a business that will actually operate.
Registered Capital Is a Schedule You Have Promised to Meet
Since 2015 foreign exchange registration for direct investment has been done at the bank, not the regulator. That made capital injections faster and made a mismatched contribution schedule harder to hide.
