After decades of rapid development, Singapore has become a global metropolis of "Trade Center + financial center + headquarters economy + investment center". According to the wealth Watch report in London, Singapore is currently the fourth largest offshore wealth management center in the world. It is expected that Singapore will become the largest offshore wealth management center in the world by 2020.

Singapore VS Hong Kong / overseas Islands

Singapore

At present, the monetary authority of Singapore still implements relatively loose policies, and the success rate of account opening is usually relatively high. However, the Bank of Singapore has a fast response speed and a reasonable degree of risk control.

Hong Kong / overseas Islands

In the past few years, Hong Kong banks were judged by foreign governments to be related to major tax related issues and imposed huge fines. At present, Hong Kong banks have strict risk control over new accounts and existing accounts, and the success rate of account opening is getting lower and lower.
