Remittance from Foreign Countries At present, all major banks in the world can handle remittance to China Construction Bank. The payee information to be provided during remittance includes: name (Chinese, English or Pinyin), ID number, contact address and contact telephone number, and then the account number and bank SWIFT code may or may not be provided. If the other bank is a cooperative bank of China Construction Bank at the time of remittance, it can be directly transferred to China Construction Bank through international settlement platforms (such as UnionPay, VISA, MasterCard, etc.). ). If it is not a cooperative bank of China Construction Bank, the accepting bank will contact the cooperative bank and China Construction Bank as intermediary banks to transfer money. After receiving the money, CCB will contact the payee by phone to collect it, and can choose to enter it in foreign currency or settle it in RMB.

So if a foreign friend wants to send money to China, just tell the other person your relevant information (the SWFIT code provided above can be inquired by calling 95533) and then ask your friend to go to the local bank for remittance. However, the arrival time is generally slow, so be prepared.
