香港に訪問せず、口座をリアクティベイトする方法について、ガイダンスがありましたのでメモしておきます。
1．普通預金口座→当座預金口座に入金依頼するため、小切手にレターを添えて香港HSBCへ送付。
2．当座預金口座から小切手を振り出し、決済されると、確認のレターが自分の登録住所に届く。
3．それにサインして香港HSBCへ返送する。
4．口座復活。
私は当座預金口座には残金がないので、小切手（Cheque）を振り出せない。そのため、事前に口座間の振替指示レターが必要とのこと。それで当座預金に入金され、それを原資として小切手が決済されると。しかし手元に小切手帳がないな…ってことで問い合わせ継続中。今月香港を通過するのに、営業時間内に滞在する予定がない。無念。
（追記）モンコック支店だけ、20:00までやっているみたいなので、訪問できるかも。
非常に丁寧な説明メールで、小切手を郵送する際のレター文例まで付けてくれています。サービスのレベルが高いなと改めて感じさせられます。

Thank you for your e-mail regarding your account status.
First of all, I would like to confirm that your HSBC Internet Banking is under normal status. Since your account has been inactive, ie without any credit or debit transaction, for more than 24 consecutive months, it is now under inactive status. In this situation, transactions performed via automated banking channels, such as HSBC Internet Banking, Phonebanking and Automated Teller Machine (ATM), will be temporarily not available. Moreover, balance of this account cannot be viewed via the automated banking channels, eg HSBC Internet Banking. This is a
security measure to protect the accounts from unauthorised access.
To reactivate your account, besides visiting our branches in Hong Kong, you can do this by issuing a cheque in a small amount, eg HK$10, from your SmartVantage Hong Kong dollar (HKD) Current account and deposit it to the same account.
Since your SmartVantage HKD Current account has zero balance, before issuing the cheque, you are required to transfer the required funds to this account first. Therefore, please mail us your instruction letter as well as your cheque. For your reference, I would like to append the letter sample below.

My name: xxxx
My account No.: xxx-xxxxxx-xxx
My passport No.: xxxx

Please transfer HK$10 from my SmartVantage HKD Savings account to my SmartVantage HKD Current account.
After the above funds transfer has been done, please process my cheque for HK$10.

//UNQUOTE//
Please specify your account number, ie xxx-xxxxxx-xxx HKD Current, at the back of your cheque as well. Please sign your cheque with your account signature.
<略>
After your cheque has been cleared, a notification letter will be sent to your registered correspondence address. After receiving this letter, please sign it with your account signature and return it to us by post. Your account will be reactivated after we have received your returned letter.
If you have any other questions, please call our Personal Banking Hotline on [852] 2233 3000.
