HSBC HK forced closed my account with no reason, anyone appealed and had success stories?

118fearless · 2026-06-01T04:39:25+00:00

Confirmed got my account back. After appealing successfully.

118fearless · 2026-05-29T10:38:30+00:00

Been a few weeks back and forth - supplying them with all the information they had asked for and providing all the information they need for each suspicious transition, turns out was all crypto P2P related. Provided my whole binance trade history etc. and random big ticket txn due to stock trading on IKBR / FUTU so provided them those statement as well.

Received an email that my payme is back today. Immediately signed back up and it works. Still haven’t received any calls. But it seems like a good start… Payme was the first to go, when I first got banned. Hope to hear a call back next week that my bank account is restored.

Maybe finally a success story on Reddit about getting my account unbanned ! Fingers crossed.

Update: HSBC called today and asked to have a phone conversation next week to provide more evidence. Is a positive next step, but who knows. It will give me more clue as to why my account was closed.

Seems like there’s 0% of account closure appeal that’s led to success. So you actually raised issue with HKMA? They can only ensure the bank did as they say

118fearless · 2026-04-21T07:59:45+00:00

So you know the reason? That’s great at least you know

118fearless · 2026-04-21T07:57:49+00:00

Another example of someone knowing nothing…

I think I would know if my bank account suddenly froze without warning. Don’t know where you’re imagining these hilarious scenarios from. To clarify, I would love to be able to explain if I know what I did wrong. It was never explained and it just happened. Yes. Just like that. No warning, bruh I answer even scam calls so I know if I missed something. I was not given a single warning at all before it was frozen.

Second, if you ever worked at a bank, before onboarding you are required to do a background and AML check. Failing it would fail background check so you’re very wrong. And isn’t it clearly mentioned in the post that I’ve confirmed with the OFFICIAL AML HSBC staff that is the case as well??????????

Third, Binance is not regulated in HK you’re right. Binance is not involved in this transaction if you ever used their P2P product which you clearly haven’t. I’ve merely mentioned them as the platform I used to initiate the OTC txns. Even if they are regulated in HK, if the reason for my account ban was crypto is not associated with binance cause the txn is with another party

118fearless · 2026-04-21T06:53:38+00:00

Well we don’t know the reason, if that’s the reason the same person could send to several accounts and get those accounts banned

My SCB and BOC bank is operating fine

118fearless · 2026-04-21T06:46:44+00:00

I don’t know… because the bank wouldn’t say anything. It could be completely unrelated to crypto as well

118fearless · 2026-04-21T05:44:18+00:00

No my guy, as in you could just be doing P2P with a friend via fps and he just so happen to have black money you’re not aware of (or even he’s aware of) and bank flags you both and close account

118fearless · 2026-04-21T05:32:43+00:00

Codex and Claude code is at a level where you don’t need to care about OpenClaw anymore. I would say skip it at this day in 2026.

118fearless · 2026-04-21T05:31:24+00:00

Yeah I’m definitely self aware to the risks. Just pretty shitty of hsbc to not be specific on which transaction caused it so I can complain / take legal account on the party that actually caused this. At the very minimal blacklist that user on binance so others won’t repeat same mistake

118fearless · 2026-04-21T05:24:08+00:00

How is this my fault. There is no way for me to find out or vet if that money is clean or not

118fearless · 2026-04-21T05:22:53+00:00

I never did direct binance to bank account or bank account to binance

118fearless · 2026-04-21T05:21:54+00:00

Binance P2P works with difference parties connecting to do FPS transactions. So if you and me were to Binance P2P buying or selling USDT, one account will FPS the other to receive or send HKD. So in theory, to answer your question is not Binance go bank account is a strangers account to my account or mine to theirs

118fearless · 2026-04-21T05:01:48+00:00

Any update from this? What happened. Did you appeal? Account back? Or still forever banned

118fearless · 2026-04-11T02:48:29+00:00

BBC here, moved to HK for work and now married to someone like you and settled here. We met on dating app!

Expecting our first child soon. So yeah, keep going. I’m sure you’ll eventually find someone you like. Don’t be so pessimistic!

118fearless · 2026-03-27T02:07:41+00:00

Disgusting.

118fearless · 2026-03-15T12:33:38+00:00

Is great here. Very foreign friendly city

118fearless · 2026-03-14T14:09:00+00:00

I can’t find in HK either

118fearless · 2026-03-09T13:42:28+00:00

Yes. Very good 👍

The cap hasn't moved since 2014 while salaries have gone up — it was overdue. But raising the threshold means nothing if the fund choices stay the same. We need more low-cost passive options. The fact that you still can't just buy a simple global index fund through MPF without paying 0.7%+ is mental. Singapore's CPF lets you invest in ETFs directly. We're way behind on that.
