Credit Cards. Cards are widely accepted at major stores, restaurants and hotels around china. It is also possible to get cash advances from ATM machines if you have a pin. There are now many ATM machines and they can be found pretty easily in most large Chinese cities.
Opening a local account is a good option for longer-term students. This gives them a place to keep cash they have brought with them and to receive money transfers from abroad. There are a few options when thinking about opening a local account; we recommend Bank of China or Industrial and Commercial Bank. These two banks have many locations around China and also on some university campuses.
There are many different options in China as the population here comes from all over China.
