Initial Deposit (See HSBC Premier, PowerVantage and Classic requirements).
Photocopy of any primary ID (Passport, Driver's License, Non-Filipinos must present their passport).*
Photocopy of secondary ID (Company ID, Credit or ATM Card, TIN, SSS or GSIS).*

If thats all then it should be no problems.
Beware though, you will find the Premier account requires a minimum opening balance (or "maintaining balance") of the equivalent of £1000 :huh: (who has that sort of money in Philippines?) but Elsa went for the Classic account - only need 1000 Php initial deposit, but she wanted it more so she can pay regular standing orders like Pag-Ibig, etc.

The ID Elsa used in HSBC Makati was just our marraige contract and her wageslips from her part-time work here in the UK, that was more than enough as HSBC had her details already from HSBC UK when she opened her account - hence why I say its an advantage to have a HSBC account in UK, as the information you provide is shared amongst the whole HSBC group worldwide.
