 Soma’s claims in this case are completely unrelated to these latter activities, we ignore these latter activities in determining whether the exercise of specific personal jurisdiction over SCB in this case satisfies the constitutional due process standard.

As both parties acknowledge, the record contains no information on how or why Soma opened its account with SCB. Soma alleges that Bank One, its bank in Bountiful, Utah, had a “relationship” with SCB and that is why Soma established its account with SCB. However, when directly asked the question at oral argument, Soma’s counsel was unable to identify any specific information in the record which further elaborates on either the nature of the relationship between Bank One and SCB or how and why Soma established its account with SCB. SCB’s counsel also acknowledged at oral argument that the record is silent as to how Soma selected SCB for purposes of the account at issue in this case. Thus, the record reveals only that SCB opened an account at its Hong Kong branch for Soma, created various internal documents evidencing that account’s existence, corresponded by fax and letter with Soma concerning that account, and received and distributed funds into and out of that account, including the final transfer of approximately $250,000 to a bank in Nevada. We affirm the district court’s conclusion that those contacts are insufficient to satisfy due process.
