its a fairly simple thing to do.... but having said that as with all banks in China... once you actually get to a teller...you need much patience as the transaction could take up to 1 hour...you are fortunate you are in a City where there will be many bank staff that will be able to converse with you in English...my advise is to go to a large branch... and seek out am English speaking bank officer... most are very helpful...

thanks so much - i find however that with my current bank, Bank of China - there is so much red tape and this makes it very difficult to transfer. Have you ever done this and if so, if you dont mind me asking, with which bank?

I use the same bank... and the "Red Tape"is the same in every bank in China... learn to live with it...I transfer money regularly ... always the same branch....have been doing this for more than 8 years... all the staff know my name...but it still always takes more than 1hour to get it done...... take 2 Valium before you go to the bank...ha ha ....

Thank you.

Hello,

To transfer money via Western Union, you need to exchange it to dollars. If you exchange RMB to dollars in a bank, they have A LOT of requirements and you can only exchange up to 500 dollars only. Here's what I do:

- Go to a Metro聽 Station with Foreign Exchange Windows. I use the one in Window of the World station. Just show your passport.

- Go to an ABC bank. They are the FASTEST (15 mins) bank to do Western Union Transactions. You can find the nearest ABC with Western Union here

Bring your passport with you.

I hope this helps.

Transferring funds out of China is not an issue and there is no limit , you need your passport , your Visa and RP , finally and most important the tax declaration from your employer stating that you paid the associated tax in China .
Is time consuming and like everything else in China you need to find a bank branch that has done it before as the first answer is always NO if they dont know how to do it

Good day; This is Chris聽 and me are from Wuhan China聽 and are also a聽 white South African . Me are teaching in Wuhan ;
If you got RMB money You can go to the China post Office witch got聽 a Western Union Branch and ask聽 a Chinese friend that can speak English to help you , to find a Western Union branch聽 .

Sorry I just got a new cell phone and me have not jet聽 put up WECHAT . OR WHATAPP.聽 ME GOT SKYPE .

It may be to late for the response. But, in order to spend up the process of transferring money I have my Chinese assistant to do it for me. The process is much faster and I didn't have to bring all of the documents. If you do it without a Chinese citizen it is a tendious process. So, if you have a trusted colleague it will better. Also, make sure your bank in S. Africa has the necessary foreign exchange number for transferring money.

You can find a western union at a chinese post. and avery good chinese friend聽 to help you , take聽 your detail from south africa where you want to send the money to, with you and聽 your passport ,plus your visa聽 to the chinese post office聽 western union and let your chinese friend ask them to help you.聽 聽. i send often money to south africa and to ukraine and never had any problem聽 / remember to ask the person in the western union聽 for the tmc聽 number and then send this聽 to your family in sa and they can go to any western union office in sa with the number. and your detail and there id book/card and then colect the money from you.

Are you in Beijing?

HI Shezz,
Did you ever find an easy way to transfer money back to SA? I'm moving in August to Hangzhou and will need to send money home monthly for my 16 year old son (school fees, etc)
