Non-resident founders cannot get a Hong Kong business credit card with a real credit line because banks require local residency.

Existing solutions either deny non-residents or only offer debit/prepaid cards without a credit line. Traditional banks require in-person visits and local residency; fintechs may lack credit features or have low limits.
