fdsa Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 We have SWIFT worldwide, for Euro zone we have IBAN, what about Unionpay? Also, there is Visa Direct for Visa card2card payments, Mastercard <something> for Mastercard card2card payments; is there a way to send money between Unionpay cards? I've found a service that could send money from Europe to Unionpay card but they ask for some "Bank code". Where do I find that code? I could not find anything by googling "Unionpay bank code", only SWIFT/IBAN databases appear in search results. Also googling for "send money from China to Thailand" reveals just a few results which look like the forex exchanges (e.g. "vertofx" which does not accept private person registrations, business entities only) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phetphet Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 There is China's version of SWIFT. Google CIPS China. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fdsa Posted March 25, 2022 Author Share Posted March 25, 2022 Okay it seems that CIPS bank codes are equal to SWIFT bank codes, i.e. if a bank is a member of CIPS then its CIPS code == its SWIFT code. So one question got answered, still I have another one: - does anyone know how to send money directly between Unionpay cards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trvlr55 Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 doubt that service is available. https://www.unionpayintl.com/en/ they do have contact/help desk setup for inquiries. however to me appears more of another service to allow some Chinese credit cards to be accepted at ATM's overseas, not for moving money between cards.
