Mysteriously in Africa there are many banks that accept UnionPay.
Not so mysterious if you consider China's neocolonial ambitions for the Dark Continent.

Any bank that makes you feel it's a rare privilege for you to meet with your money is a den of thieves. As it not-so-shockingly turns out... that's precisely what HSBC are. We're also fishing for alternatives. For one, no mortgages with HSBC, second, taking advantage of HSBC's precious metals paper dump to transfer digi dollars to cold hard metal. HSBC have decided to be gigantic pricks. We'll treat them accordingly.
