Written by Bertrand Théaud, Statrys Founder

20+ years in Asia as a corporate lawyer, investor, and fintech founder. I've sat on both sides of the table and seen the same avoidable mistakes hit founders again and again. The reviews and articles I write are for founders who'd rather skip the mistakes.

Key Takeaways

Statrys is rated 4.9 out of 5 on Trustpilot from 513 reviews, with 87% of reviewers giving five stars.

We invite every customer to review us on Trustpilot, so the score reflects positive and negative experiences alike.

Most positive reviews praise responsive support, a fully online setup and a platform that’s easy to use.

Most critical reviews involve compliance and eligibility, so checking our requirements before you apply helps avoid many of these issues.

I founded Statrys to give small and medium-sized businesses in Asia a financial partner that is responsive, transparent and built for cross-border trade. Customer reviews are one of the clearest measures of whether we deliver on that, which is why I read them closely.

In this review, I set out our Trustpilot rating, how it compares with other business account providers, what our customers value most, and where our compliance and eligibility rules may not suit every business. As the founder, I have an obvious interest in the result, so every Trustpilot figure below can be checked on the public profiles, starting with our Trustpilot profile.

What Is Statrys?

Statrys is a Hong Kong-based payment services company for small and medium-sized businesses. We offer multi-currency business accounts in 11 currencies with payments to more than 120 countries, company registration in Hong Kong and Singapore, and accounting, on one platform. More than 10,000 businesses have opened a Statrys business account.

We’re not a bank. Statrys Limited is licensed as a Money Service Operator in Hong Kong, and Statrys Singapore Pte. Ltd. is licensed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore as a Major Payment Institution. Our business account is available to companies registered in Hong Kong, Singapore and the BVI, and Singapore companies can open a Singapore business account.

How to Read the Score

Because we invite every customer to review us, the score reflects a broad cross-section of our clients rather than only those who sought out a review site on their own.

Here's how Statrys compares with other business account providers on Trustpilot. Each profile covers all of a company's markets, not just Hong Kong or Singapore.

Provider TrustScore and Reviews One-Star Share
Statrys 4.9 from 500+ 5%
Wise 4.3 from 300,000+ 9%
Aspire 3.9 from 250+ 21%
Airwallex 2.9 from 2,500+ 36%

Review volumes vary widely, from over 500 for Statrys to over 300,000 for Wise, so a TrustScore is best read alongside the share of one-star reviews. By that measure, 5% of Statrys’s reviews are one-star, compared with between 9% and 36% for the other providers here.

What Customers Appreciate Most

Trustpilot's own AI summary of 159 recent reviews says reviewers "overwhelmingly had a great experience", and four themes come up again and again.

Responsive Support From a Real Team

The most common thread in positive reviews is responsive support by email, chat or WhatsApp from a team that follows up without being chased, and many reviewers name the person who helped them. For founders without a finance team, that matters most when something goes wrong.

An Easy Platform, on Desktop and Mobile

Reviewers describe the platform as convenient and easy to use for everyday payments, and the mobile app lets you manage your account on the go. Some describe managing more than one company's accounts from the same login.

A Fully Online Setup

Many reviewers say they opened their account, and often incorporated their company, without visiting Hong Kong or Singapore. 96% of our clients were able to open their business accounts within 3 business days.

Built for Cross-Border Businesses

Reviewers range from startups to established companies moving over from traditional banks, and several describe using the account every day for international transfers. We also accept applications from newly incorporated companies, which some banks are reluctant to take on.

Where Our Rules May Not Fit Every Business

Our less positive reviews mostly come from businesses that didn't meet our compliance or eligibility requirements. Two situations come up often:

  • An application we couldn't approve. As a licensed payment firm, we must verify who owns and controls a company, how it earns its money and who it pays. When we can't, we decline the application, sometimes after the company has already been incorporated.
  • A payment that needed supporting documents. For some transfers, we ask for an invoice or contract before releasing funds.

Eligibility also depends on the countries a company and its owners are linked to.

Like other regulated payment firms, we can't always explain a decision in detail because of anti-money laundering rules and our own risk policies.

What it means for you: if your company is newly incorporated or not yet set up, owned through several layers, connected to the US, or possibly linked to an industry or country on our list of prohibited industries or prohibited countries, talk to us before you apply or incorporate, and keep invoices and contracts ready for larger payments.

Who Statrys Is Best Suited For in 2026

Based on what our clients describe and who we built the platform for, Statrys is a good fit for:

  • Foreign founders incorporating in Hong Kong or Singapore who want the company, the account and the accounting set up remotely
  • SMEs trading across Asia and Europe that pay suppliers and contractors in several currencies
  • Service businesses and consultancies with straightforward ownership and documented client contracts

It's less suited to:

  • High-risk or heavily regulated industries, and crypto-heavy businesses
  • Larger businesses that need a payments API
  • Businesses that need currencies we don't support

How to Use Trustpilot to Judge Any Provider

Whichever provider you’re checking, including Statrys, a few minutes on its Trustpilot profile, plus one quick test, tells you more than the score alone:

  • Step 1: Check how reviews are collected. Trustpilot shows whether a company invites all its customers to review.
  • Step 2: Read reviews from the last 12 months. Look for patterns rather than single stories.
  • Step 3: Match reviews to your profile. A review matters more if the reviewer’s business looks like yours.
  • Step 4: Test support yourself. Ask a real question before you apply and see how quickly and clearly you get an answer.

Conclusion

Our 4.9 rating reflects what most of our clients tell us: responsive support, an easy platform and a setup that works without flying to Hong Kong or Singapore. Where a business isn’t a fit, it’s usually because of the compliance and eligibility rules that licensed payment firms apply. If your business is straightforward and well-documented, we’re likely a good fit. If you’re unsure, talk to us before you apply.
