Board resolution: open a company bank account
Every bank asks for one — a directors’ resolution approving the new account and naming the authorised signatories. Fill in your details below and download a ready-to-sign Word document, free.
When you need this document
Banks in Hong Kong (and most banks abroad) require a certified board resolution before they will open an account for a company. The resolution records that the directors approved opening the account, names the authorised signatories, and adopts the bank’s standard mandate. This generator produces written resolutions signed by all directors — the standard format for private companies, with no board meeting required.

After you sign
- All directors sign the written resolutions (counterparts are fine for most banks).
- Certify a copy. Banks usually want the resolution certified as a true copy by a director or the company secretary.
- Prepare the supporting pack — Certificate of Incorporation, Business Registration Certificate, articles of association, registers, and ID/address proof for signatories and beneficial owners.
