Bank of China ( Hong Kong ) is planning to offer a cross - border mobility account , allowing Hong Kong residents to establish an account with Beijing ’s Bank of China without the need to travel to the mainland in person . Two types of account will be available : one with access to ATMs on the mainland , and one with a lower transaction threshold and no internet connection . The move comes as part of a wider push by investors to increase cross - border mobility within the financial services sector .
