UnionPay said that it cross-border remittance service is convenient, as the remitter has to give the recipient’s name and UnionPay card number to transfer the money, and usually the remit can be received within on working day.
The exchange rates will be fixed before remittances, and the money will be deposited into the UnionPay accounts in Chinese currency RMB; therefore, the recipient does not need to pay fees.
The cross-border remittance service of UnionPay International and CIBC has a daily transfer limit of $10,000.
