The issue of the notary is not important. The issue is the type of contract, the wording and if the contract is valid under US not HK law.

What legal ramifications can occur if a non notary closed a loan without a notary present and the contract was notarized after you left the closing location?
The borrowers can claim they never signed it before a notary and could have the whole contract dismissed in Court, and keep the money they borrowed. In addition, the notary could be sued by the lender for the total amount of the loan, and the notary would lose their commission.
Does a private binding contract have to be notarized?
No, but without a notary it makes it easier for one person to say "hey, I was never there, I never signed that." With a notary there is essentially a witness to the signing.
DOES a notarized document become a binding contract?
The notary seal and notary's signature does not make a document a binding contract. The signatures on a contract can be notarized. However, when a document if notarized, the notary is simply stating that to the best of their knowledge the signature is that of the person signing the document. In other words, the notary verifies a signature that they witness. A contract would be binding once the participants sign it in front of the notary and the document is notarized.

What if a non notary closed a loan without a notary present but notary witnessed customes but not actually signing what legal ramifications can occur?
The job of the notary is to verify that the person signing a document is who they say they are. Some documents require that the notary see the actual signing and some merely require the notary to verify ID. The legal ramifications of an improper or invalid notarization are that the document can be challenged more easily in court, may be completely invalid without a proper notarization, the notary could be sued/fined/charged for improperly notarizing a document, the transaction may be declared void, and other bad things.
