Life in China - Expenses

There has always been lots of enquiry from students and parents about school fee and daily expenses handling tips in Mainland China. Here CEC lists the following common practices for your easy reference:

1. Remittance
2. Cash Payment
3. Traveler’s Cheque
4. Credit Card
5. China Construction Bank (Asia) ATM Remittance Service
 
Expenses Out of these practices, Remittance requires students to set up a local account in Mainland China. And it involves complicated procedures with at least 2 to 3 days processing time. It is not suitable for any urgent cases if students need cash promptly. For some occasions, students carry plenty of cash exchanging RMB in Mainland China to settle school and rental fee. As a matter of fact, this is not a wise choice as there is a maximum limit for bringing cash in and risk for counterfeit note. Traveler’s Cheque is comparatively safe but expensive for its high handling fee. Using Credit Card settle payment is simple and easy but parents may be concerned about their children’s overspending problems and it may not be widely accepted by merchants in Mainland China.

According to parent and student past experiences shared with CEC, China Construction Bank (Asia) ATM Remittance Service, which offers round-the-clock free remittance and cash withdrawal service is the most innovative, secure and convenient solution to rely on.
