About Pearl River Post
An independent publication on Hong Kong company operations, written from primary sources.
Editorial scope
Pearl River Post is an informational publication focused on Hong Kong company operations, business banking and cross-border payments across the Pearl River Delta. It does not submit bank applications, form companies, provide tax opinions or rank institutions by paid placement.
The name is literal. Hong Kong sits at the mouth of the Pearl River, and a great deal of the region’s capital, trade and paperwork passes through it. The publication follows that paperwork.
Editorial rule
A regulatory status comes from the regulator. A price comes from the current provider or government fee page. An editorial conclusion is labelled as analysis. When those three are mixed together, readers cannot tell what can change — so we keep them separate.
Primary sources first
Ordinances, regulators, government departments and official registers.
Providers for their own products
Product scope and fees come from the provider’s current documentation.
Analysis labelled as analysis
Interpretation is written as our reading, not as a rule.

- No referral fees for applications.
