Thanks, will hit it Monday if employer comes through with the proof of income.

Thank you again. May I ask where on BJ Rd? I'm sure there are at least a few BOC's along it somewhere.

OK, will try Merchant, too.

The thread from a few years back also said that HSBC is only corporate, so you need to deposit like half a mil before you can have an account/card.

Unionpay is useless outside China, which is what I need it for.

Went to Everbright and Communications today, both refused.
Went to BOC. They said I'd need proof of income, TAXES and address, but still insisted that basically I will not be approved for the card, especially if any of the documents is for less than three years.

Guess I'll try.
Or did anybody get HSBC personal?

Will try them.

May I ask what you had to provide besides a passport?
Proof of income? House/car ownership/rental agreements?
Do you have an account with them?

Thanks,
