The foreigners have to bring their passports. It is difficult to do it. |

| GUESTMARIA | Just call your bank and ask them to change your pseronal pin (they might just forward you to some automated # to do this). Be prepared to give your account info and other pseronal info to verify who you are. Another 'good' option might be to request credit card checks from your bank. See if they offer some kind of year promotional rate on the checks so you can easily pay off the account in 'x' amount of months/year. What I would NOT do is visit one of thoes payday loan centers you see advertised on the television. |

| [quote=GUESTIVAN ROBERTS,480600]I am a foreigner is it possible for me to open an account in china with HSBC bank china,I am in kuwait .Thank you Ivan[/quote] Are you going to open a RMB account? I searched on the internet and found it was a bit complicated to open a HSBC account. I suggest you contact the HSBC bank for detailed information. PS: you may look at the following pages for reference. Check these two pages: http://www.hsbc.com.cn/ http://www.hsbc.com.cn/ Telephone line: Call us on: Retail Banking and Wealth Management 800-830-2880 (or +86-400-820-3090/ +86-20-83918133 if outside of mainland China or using a mobile phone) Business Banking 400-882-6688 You may consider of opening a BOC (Bank of China) account in China. It is easy to do. |

But do remember that some banks charge account management fee. Usually, it is about CNY 10 per year. Some banks charge the fee when you open an account while some others just charge it at a certain time. Even there isn't a penny in account, the account management fee will be charged. When you cancel your account, the bank will get all the fee you owe to them. |
