Bank & EMI Account Opening

Choosing the right bank or payment system is one of the most important steps for a new company. We help you select, apply to and open corporate accounts — from Hong Kong and regional banks to offshore banks and modern payment systems.

Banking, made straightforward

Banks and payment providers each have their own appetite, documentation and onboarding process. Applying blindly wastes time and risks rejection. Intergroup matches your company to the institutions that fit your business, prepares a complete application and introduces you directly — so you open the right account the first time.

Explore the directory below. We work across three groups: Hong Kong & regional banks, offshore banks and payment systems (EMIs) — each with its own strengths for different business models.

How it works

1

Choose the right institution

We assess your business, markets and currency needs, then shortlist the banks and payment systems most likely to approve and serve you well.

2

Prepare the application

We compile and review the full KYC pack — corporate documents, business profile, proof of activity and source-of-funds — to match each institution’s requirements.

3

Apply & introduce

We submit the application and introduce you to the bank or provider, handling questions and follow-ups through to approval.

4

Activate your account

Once approved, we help you activate online banking, cards and payment rails so you can start transacting straight away.

Open a corporate account

Tell us about your business and we’ll recommend the banks and payment systems most likely to approve you — then handle the application end to end.
