China's money landscape, in brief
Currency
Transfers into China land in Chinese yuan (renminbi) (CNY), so the exchange rate you lock in and the fees quoted up front are what decide how much actually arrives.
How transfers settle
Domestic interbank transfers use CNAPS (large-value) or IBPS (internet banking payment, small-value, near-real-time). Cross-border RMB flows require additional documentation. That matters for a transfer sent from Shenzhen: a provider that delivers onto the local rail typically clears faster than a routed correspondent-bank wire.
Recipient details
Chinese accounts use a bank code plus account number (typically 16-19 digits); domestic transfers ask for the recipient's full registered name. Cross-border transfers need CNAPS codes. Getting these recipient details exactly right is the difference between a same-day delivery and a bounced-back transfer.
Regulation
Payments in China are overseen by the People's Bank of China (PBoC). Payment businesses in China require a PBoC payment business licence. Foreign-linked wallets and accounts are subject to additional restrictions; confirm licensed status before use.
