Bank of China – Exchanging Currency
When you exchange Chinese Yuan to GBP, Dollar or Euro at a Bank of China branch you will need a Bank of China bank card, your passport and a working telephone number. If you are on a short term contract you will only be able to change up to $500 or £470 each time you visit, at a maximum of four visits per month. You can do this either by ex changing cash, or a direct transfer into your chosen currency using funds from your Bank of China account.
Customers who are in China on an extended work visa will be able to exchange more money, but will need proof of their work contract and visa.
It is a good idea to make an appointment before you do the exchange to ensure they have your chosen currency in the branch. You can do this over the phone, using the number for the branch nearest your accommodation.
