At present, China's foreign exchange management regulations: those who go abroad for private travel, business, visiting relatives, etc. Before leaving the country, you can exchange US$ 2,000 or its equivalent in other foreign currencies with your passport and visa at China Bank; In addition to the normal $2,000 before leaving the country, the state also allows students studying abroad at their own expense to exchange relevant foreign certificates for tuition and living expenses abroad; People who go abroad on business can also sell a certain amount of foreign exchange in accordance with the relevant regulations according to the number of days in China and the distance of their trip.

If you travel abroad for a short time, you can take cash out of the country directly, because the amount of foreign exchange needed is not large. If the required foreign exchange exceeds US$ 2,000, as long as it is not much, you can open a carrying card in the bank, and the bank will charge RMB 5 yuan for this card.

If you are visiting relatives abroad, you can take a small amount of change with you because your residence abroad is relatively fixed and your stay time is relatively long. For safety reasons, you can draw a draft in the bank before leaving the country. The bank charges 2 yuan RMB, plus one thousandth of the face value. After arriving at a foreign destination, you can withdraw cash from the bank by air ticket, and there will be no other bank charges for withdrawing cash or transferring money abroad.

If there is a large demand for foreign exchange, it is most appropriate to exchange traveler's checks for leaving the country except carrying a small amount of change. Bank traveler's checks can be consumed or cashed out abroad. It is convenient to use traveler's checks when spending abroad, and there is no handling fee. However, if you want to withdraw cash overseas, you will have to charge a handling fee of 3% of the withdrawal amount. Traveler's checks are convenient, practical and safe, and you can also report the loss. Because of these characteristics, it is widely used in the world.

========================================================================================

But it's best to use a draft from the Bank of China, or a traveler's check, and deposit it in pounds. This can be deposited directly in a local bank in the UK. Safe and convenient. That's what I did when I came to England. I have some pounds with me in case of emergency. I pay attention to keeping cash, checks, credit cards and passports separately.

Pay attention to personal safety, don't disclose financial information, especially on crowded buses and subways, and try to avoid "close contact" with others.

Open a bank account as soon as you arrive in the UK.

Personal information should be kept confidential.

Wish you a pleasant journey.
