Open a Bank Account

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) has come up with a policy regarding the opening a bank account at local banks for people under age of 18 (minors). Minors are required to be accompanied by parent/guardian when opening a bank account. The parent/guardian will be requested to sign a declaration and provide a copy of HKID card/passport/other documents as proof of his/her identiy. For details, please check with the local banks directly.

Non-local students under the age of 18 should complete the Departure Record Form and return it to the Non-local Student Services Team (NLSST) at QT308, Communal Building at least 7 working days before leaving Hong Kong for one day or more.

They are also required to ask their parents to fill out Part B of the Departure Record Form and send the scanned copy to NLSST by email nls.services@polyu.edu.hk
