Reminder
Under the local foreign exchange regulations, an individual who deposits or withdraws more than U$10,000 in a day or U$150,000 a month will be reported to the local Administration of Foreign Exchange Control. Foreign-funded enterprises are allowed to use US dollars only under specific circumstances as defined by the foreign exchange control rules.
Otherwise, companies have to pay RMB for all expenditures incurred in maintaining their operations in China. The rule stipulates that foreign-funded enterprises are able to use US dollars in two situations - salaries of their employees who are dispatched to China and overseas business travel expenses incurred by their employees.
To prove such situations, companies are required to present the board's resolutions and visa record as evidence of its foreign exchange bank in order to withdraw US dollars.
If $10,000 is withdrawn, the bank must report it to the local Administration of Foreign Exchange Control.
maximum amount of cash deposit/day is USD 5,000
