3.?????Bank Account and Bank Card

It’s recommended to open a bank account in Beijing so that you can convert foreign currencies into RMB, and then deposit them in your own bank account. For the purpose of using the E-card on campus, you have to open the account at any?Bank of China?(中国银行,Zhongguo Yinhang). It is required that you present your passport to the bank staffs when you open a bank account /and when you exchange currencies. In addition to that, remember to apply or ask for a UnionPay Card (银联卡, Yinlian Ka). The UnionPay Card functions as a Debit Card, it enables you to transfer money from your saving/checking account directly to the recipient’s account and it is commonly used in Beijing.

Note: If you are an exchange student, your bank account will be opened by the International Student Office, before you come. You will get the card on the registration day.
