As you can tell from the names, the latter three banks originally were formed in order to develop specific areas of the economy. It is important that you go to the appropriate bank when trying to open an account. For the majority of international companies the first and only choice will be to use the Bank of China or BoC as it is commonly known.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/6″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\n\r\n

This legal document shows that the bank is interested in having your company as a client. In order to obtain a confirmation of interest, you will need to submit a number of your own documents. You will need to submit a due diligence document and your corporate documents you submitted to be approved to do business in China. As with the paperwork you submitted to the government, the documents you submit to the bank will need to have been translated into Chinese. Even after you submit your paperwork, the bank will likely want to have an in-person meeting where they can ask questions about anything they are uncertain about and you can sign the documents opening your account if approved. As a foreign investor, we highly recommend you have an interpreter on hand who understand the financial world. Our experts can assist you in this task because we understand the nuances in translating banking terms. It is vital that you understand exactly what you are being asked and what you are signing when you open a bank account. Once you submit your documents, there will be a wait time. It is not unusual for the processing of your documents to take four weeks or longer. When you have received your bank account number, it may take an additional three to four weeks for your online banking account to become active.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=”bottom-to-top”]With our many years of experience Fung, Yu & Co CPA Limited can guide you through these processes with the minimum of difficulty.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”0px” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” gradient_type=”default”][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” left_padding_desktop=”20%” left_padding_tablet=”10%” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ background_image=”2291″ background_image_position=”center center” enable_bg_scale=”true” background_image_loading=”default” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” parallax_bg=”true” parallax_bg_speed=”very_subtle” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” gradient_type=”default”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”90vh” custom_height_tablet=”70vh” custom_height_phone=”60vh”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” translate_y=”-50%” translate_x=”30%” text_align=”left” min_width_desktop=”20vw” min_width_tablet=”30vw” min_width_phone=”30vw” row_position=”absolute” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” top_position_desktop=”50%” left_position_desktop=”0″ left_position_tablet=”-10%” left_position_phone=”-10%” class=”fungyu-window” zindex=”50″ overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ background_image=”650″ background_image_position=”left center” background_image_loading=”default” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”parallax” animation_movement_type=”default” column_parallax_intensity=”2.25″ persist_movement_on_mobile=”true” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_color=”#fb656c” column_border_style=”solid” gradient_type=”default”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”50vh” custom_height_tablet=”40vh” custom_height_phone=”35vh”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\n\r\n

One is called a foreign currency capital contribution account. This type of account is required for foreign corporations. It must be approved by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE). This account is used to receive funds from investors who are located outside of China. The other account is an RMB basic account. RMB is the shortened form of renminbi, the name of the official Chinese currency. Your corporate RMB account is used to withdraw cash and to make payments in China. It is also usually used as your designated tax payment account.[\/vc_column_text][split_line_heading animation_type=”line-reveal-by-space” font_style=”h6″ text_color=”#fb656c” line_reveal_by_space_text_effect=”default” content_alignment=”default” mobile_content_alignment=”inherit” link_target=”_self” text_content=”Chinese Verses International Bank”][\/split_line_heading][vc_column_text css_animation=”bottom-to-top”]Many foreign investors may be tempted to simply use an international bank account because it requires less work to set up or because they are already using that bank. However, there are a number of reasons why you may want to establish an account with a bank in China, in fact, the Bank of China corporate banking services are at least the same level of service as other international banks.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=”bottom-to-top”]First, it may actually take longer and require more documentation to open a bank account with one of these international banks. Even though you may be able to submit your documents in English instead of Chinese, the amount of paperwork may be much larger. It may also take longer to have your bank account approved.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=”bottom-to-top”]Second, there are many more Chinese commercial banks in China than there are branches of international banks. If you have a Chinese corporate bank account, it will be much easier to find a local branch of your bank than it is to find a foreign bank. This can be much more convenient.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=”bottom-to-top”]Finally, most of the businesses you will work with in China will have accounts through a local bank. It is easier and faster to conduct transactions between Chinese banks than between an international bank and a Chinese bank.[\/vc_column_text][split_line_heading animation_type=”line-reveal-by-space” font_style=”h6″ text_color=”#fb656c” line_reveal_by_space_text_effect=”default” content_alignment=”default” mobile_content_alignment=”inherit” link_target=”_self” text_content=”Ease of Access”][\/split_line_heading][vc_column_text css_animation=”bottom-to-top”]While your paperwork will need to be submitted in Chinese and you may need a Chinese financial expert there when you open your account, much of your daily business can be done in English. Most Chinese banks provide access to accounts via the internet. These websites are often available in Chinese and English. You can view your account balances, authorise transactions, and even make your tax payments online.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=”bottom-to-top”]If you need any help setting up your Bank of China corporate banking account in China, you can contact us at Fung, Yu & Co.
