We're excited to announce that TransferWise is launching transfers to China.
TransferWise now supports Chinese Yuan (CNY) transfers to Chinese UnionPay card accounts. It’s fast, as fair as ever, and – with a fee starting from ¥24 – it’s great value, no matter how much you’re sending.
China is currently the most expensive major currency corridor, according to the World Bank, with the average cost of sending $200 (£140) from the UK to China standing at a staggering US $19.6 (£13.70) or 9.8%.
TransferWise will charge 1.5% for transfers with a delivery time of 1 to 3 days. Anybody with a UnionPay account will be able to receive transfers. The launch comes with perfect timing for New Year gift-giving, too.
