Hong Kong (RAE - China) - The Progressive Labour Union of Domestic Workers barred from opening a bank account

Some unions are not able to open a bank account for their daily operation. For example, the Progressive Labour Union of Domestic Workers in Hong Kong, which is composed of the foreign domestic workers, has been trying to open a bank account and has applied to nearly all banks in Hong Kong, but its applications were rejected every time on various dubious grounds. Some banks pretended that they only accepted nationals as clients, while others claimed that they did not accept associations or organisations as clients.
