Hong Kong is an International Finance Centre (IFC) and the gateway to mainland China.

DZ BANK has been rooted in the city for more than 40 years, giving us an excellent understanding of the opportunities that the region offers. Staff from a diverse background bring together a cultural and professional skill set that can help you seize those opportunities.

As a fully licensed Branch of DZ BANK AG, Hong Kong branch offers a comprehensive set of products for corporates and institutional clients.

We asked Johannes Hack, General Manager of our DZ BANK Hong Kong branch, for a few insights about his customers, business and the expertise of his house.

Who uses your services and expertise?

We serve a broad range of clients ranging from medium-sized German sourcing companies to large Asian asset managers.

What are crucial factors for a successful venture into the Asian market?

Hong Kong is consistently ranked amongst the best cities worldwide in terms of “ease of doing business”. Setting up a local company and expanding from here to the nearby markets is thus a straightforward exercise. The proximity to mainland China and the ASEAN countries allows our clients’ operations to be scaled up quickly and substantially.

As DZ BANK, we are, act and advise according to our catchphrase FUTURE|STRONG. How does our key objective come into play in your day-to-day business?

The days start in the East and so does much of the future, be it in innovation, agility or growth potential. As DZ BANK AG in Hong Kong we are proud to be a part of that future and to connect our client base to the opportunities it offers.

Our German desk provides our Corporate Customers  with expertise and products for trade finance.

When it comes to opening accounts and processing payment transactions, we can clearly set ourselves apart from our competitors, thanks to our German language advice and quick in-house communications. We are also a preferred address for our SME customers when it comes to processing documentary business. This is helped not only by our good rating, but also by the certainty that we have been present in Hong Kong for over 40 years and will still be here tomorrow.

We are happy to provide you with our expertise as a bridge from Germany to Asia. Let's head off together on the path to new opportunities.
