FAQ

Common Questions

Which banks in Yiwu work well with foreign-owned companies?
Several major banks in Yiwu have experience with foreign-invested enterprises, including Bank of China, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC), and China Merchants Bank. We have working relationships with branches that are familiar with the WFOE documentation requirements.
Do I need to be in China to open the corporate account?
In most cases, the legal representative (or an authorized signatory) must be present in person at the bank branch for identity verification and signature. Remote account opening is not currently standard practice for corporate accounts in China.
How long does bank account opening take?
After submitting a complete application, most banks process corporate account applications within 1–3 weeks. Approval timelines vary by bank and by the complexity of your company structure.
What documents are required?
Typically: original business license, company chops, legal representative's passport (and Chinese visa/residence permit if applicable), shareholder documents, and completed bank application forms. We prepare and organize all required documents for you in advance.
