Hi Josh here you say that banks at airports and hotels all use the same official exchange rate but in a previous section you said it is a mistake to change money at the airport and that there the rate is likely to be worse, so travellers should try to bring in a few rmbs and then change on arrival at hotel. Which is it please?
What I mean is that most ATMs will give you about the same exchange rate. We are in jinghong. Can we change this in a bank? Are some better than others? Or do we need a traVel exchange place? Unless you have tons of time, I recommend exchanging the money at an airport kiosk.
Josh, I still find your comments about exchanging currency at the airport bank exchanges confusing. Sorry for the confusion. The currency exchange kiosks are not based on the fixed government exchange rate. They have their own rate that is very favorable to them. You get a much better rate via an ATM. Thanks for that. Also wanted to ask and its probably a silly question, will a visa debit card from navy federal credit Union work in china?
I need to change a signifigant amount of RMB into American currency to go into Cambodia and traveling a few other countries as well over the next few months.
I need to change equivilent to aprox 7, usd from rmb.. You should be able to go to a larger bank brand to do the exchange, but they might have limits.
Is it Visa? Hello JOsh i came to china with little cash. I have via, mastercard n a debit card. Am here 22 days with my sister who works here on a Permit but is in the hospital upon m6 arrival.
My sister lives in china and was wondering if there is anyway to exchange Chinese yuan back to Us dollars electronically so I could take care of some payments she has here in the States. It depends on how much money. Smaller amounts can be sent via a service called Swapsy as long as she has WeChat or Alipay. Investors must convert funds back to U.
As long as they hold money in these accounts, investors benefit from any appreciation in value in the Chinese currency. They are IRA-eligible, and a monthly maintenance fee may apply. As long as the yuan remains a non-deliverable currency, withdrawals can only be made in U. Another way to invest in the yuan is through exchange traded funds ETFs designed to perform in accordance with the value of the Chinese currency.
This ETF is invested in a portfolio of dim sum bonds , which are issued outside of mainland China but are nonetheless denominated in the yuan. The fund offers capital appreciation in accordance with the yuan, a generous dividend yield that can range from 3. Dividends are typically cash payments made to investors as a reward for investing in a security, fund, or stock. The fund also offers the potential for capital gains resulting from increased bond values. The fund aims to mirror the performance of Chinese interest rates and the value of the yuan relative to the U.
Forward contracts allow two parties to exchange two currencies by locking in the pair's exchange rate today for settlement at some point in the future. The initial forward contract is offset or unwound when its settlement date comes due.
The difference in the exchange rates between the original forward and the offsetting trade is the gain or loss from the currency exchange rate movements. The net difference is typically settled in dollars, and no yuan changes hands. Investors wishing to maximize investment in the yuan through the use of leveraged investments may consider currency futures or forex market trading.
Leveraged transactions use borrowed funds to enhance the gains or returns on an investment. However, just as leverage can magnify gains, it can also magnify losses. Futures options on the yuan are also available. Futures are derivatives since they derive their value from the underlying investment. Futures contracts can be used to speculate on currencies and commodities.
However, futures have preset expiration dates and are standardized unlike forward contracts, which allow customized amounts and settlement dates. A limited number of forex brokers offer trading in the U. Since these types of investments are highly leveraged, they are only appropriate for investors who are willing to accept the higher level of risk that accompanies the substantially higher level of potential return.

Renminbi and yuan are often used interchangeably. When shopping in China, a storekeeper might express prices in terms of kuai, which translates into "pieces," and is similar to how Americans use "bucks" to mean dollars. Yuan is the unit of account. The largest banknote is yuan, followed by 50 yuan, 20 yuan, 10 yuan, 5 yuan, 2 yuan and 1 yuan.
One yuan can be further divided into jiao and fen. There are 10 jiao in a yuan think dimes in a dollar and fen in a yuan think pennies in a dollar. The central bank has issued both coins and notes for jiao and fen, though notes for fen denominations are rare. Popular analogies given to explain the difference between yuan and renminbi are drawn from British pound sterling vs.
Any expression of the price is always in a dollar, pound, or yuan—not Federal Reserve notes, sterling, or renminbi. In the summer of , the IMF reported that the Chinese yuan was in line with fundamentals, only to then witness the yuan reach a month low in response to an escalating tariff war with the United States.
For years, the Chinese yuan renminbi CNY had never been close to being considered an international currency because of the Chinese government's rigid controls.
However, this then began to change. According to a report by Standard Chartered Bank, usage of RMB for international trade expanded 21 fold since , and it expected that almost half of China's goods trade would be invoiced in RMB by In October , the renminbi was added to the list of the top-five most-used currencies, in addition to the U.
However, data reported by Swift, the global inter-bank system, revealed that only 1. Michael Moon of Swift stated, "The renminbi has had a difficult year in and struggled to realize its potential for growth.
The growth of Chinese currency is often a roller coaster. China has increased its attempts to back its currency, including promoting free usage of the renminbi. Whether you know it as a yuan or renminbi, what matters is that the currency from China remains a part of the currency conversation on the global stage. Richard A. Iley and Mervyn Lewis.
