WWT,
As of now, still banking in Canada. Once I get to HK in the fall, I'll also open a bank account there with HSBC, which Jumpstart can also assist with booking an appointment direct with an account manager to expedite the process. I'm not a US citizen (thanks God!) so can't comment on the ease of doing so for a US citizen or not.
I heard that opening an account in the Phils is extremely easy, even as a tourist, you can get one in 30 minutes. Can those currently in the Phils or those with first hand experience on that confirm/deny or shed more lights into that?
