Tips on Sending Money to China

by Chloe Banks

As Chinas economy continues to thrive as they make headway in the technology market and other global enterprises, opportunities for Chinese emigrants grow. Sixty percent of overseas Chinese professionals reside in the United States.

Chinese immigrants to the United States are able to send money to China more frequently and in greater quantity than they have been able to in the past. This group of recent emigrants sending money to China account for the largest amounts of remittance money sent from the US back to their native country.

There are several ways to transfer money from to China from the U.S. Seventy-five percent of the remittance market is captured by formal service providers, mainly China Post, the commercial banks and rural credit cooperatives, and the remaining 25% is carried home or sent through other channels.

One way in which to transfer money back to relatives in China is through an ATM or debit card. If the recipient is someone trusted it could be a good idea for them to have a bank card linked to your checking or savings account. If you are comfortable with the cardholder having access to money at all times, they would be able to withdraw money from an ATM machine.

For situations where you do not want the recipient to have unlimited access to the money, a pre-paid debit card is another way to go. It works just like an ATM card except that it is loaded with a specific amount of money. The cardholder will have no access to funds until you have refilled the pre-paid debit card. At this time you could notify the recipient via phone that money has been added to the card.

Sending money to China via bank wire transfer is another option. However this can often be more expensive as US banks will charge a transaction fee. This service can often take up to several weeks to process.

A fast and easy way to send money to China is through an online service such as ATM Cash. This allows you to transfer money from your own computer 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

Many of the facilities that deal with international funds transfers to China are based on networks that have expanded, thus making it easier and more efficient to send money to both urban and rural areas in China.

There are however increased fears of money laundering and criminal activities with some money transfers. Because of this the U.S. government has tried to control the banking business more closely. Money sent to china cannot exceed USD 3,000 per day. Also, when sending money by check, you cannot exceed 10,000 US dollars.
