That depends on the bank. CMB once asked me for a temporary lodging registration slip from the PSB. A different bank didn't. Who knows what other banks or other branches will want from you. If you do have a registration slip, certainly take it with you. Best to be prepared with whatever they might ask for.
I suspect that if you, or someone with you, speaks Chinese you'll have an easier time, since the bank'll know that it won't face language hassles dealing with you.
