Hey Guys,

I hold a Australian Passport, soon to be a dual national of Malta.

I've heard that the Maltese banks are a bit hit and miss, Wondering since I have HSBC here in Australia, do you reckon that it would be more streamlined to open a HSBC account in Australia now, and then when the time comes (In around 12 months) to transfer the Australian account to Malta?

I'm opening a Business account in order to use as a holding company for international assets.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

While HSBC premier on paper has a service to open accounts in other countries - HSBC Malta is not part of this service.

It probably wont hurt to be an established HSBC customer, but it wont help a whole lot ime

I can confirm it doesn't help at all. You would still also be waiting a few months to get an appointment for HSBC to open a normal account.

That being said, once HSBC is setup, they are pretty decent in terms of service from my experience.
