The OFX Dollar to Yuan comparison table above makes it easy to compare the Total Fees (both variable and fixed) you are being charged by OFX and other foreign exchange providers against the latest USD-CNY mid-rate (see Market Data below ) and the possible savings of using various providers.
OFX has a 20-year history and is one of the largest foreign exchange specialists in the world. It offers a complete foreign exchange solution, including discounted money transfers, currency hedging tools, recurring transfers, a multi-currency account for online sellers and much more.
OFX grew from the idea that there had to be a better, fairer way to move money around the world. That was over 20 years ago, and since then over 1 million customers have trusted OFX with transfers in 50+ currencies to over 170 countries.
OFX don’t just offer great rates, they believe real help from real people counts. That’s why their clients get the best of both worlds – a seamless digital platform, combined with 24/7 phone access to currency experts.
When it comes to moving money, peace of mind is important. OFX is monitored by over 50 regulators globally and work within a network of carefully selected banking partners. So whether you are sending money to friends and family abroad, or doing business across borders, OFX can get your money where it needs to go. Fast, simple, secure.
Using OFX for money transfers offers the benefit of lower fees and competitive exchange rates compared to traditional banks, making international transactions more cost-effective.
Additionally, OFX provides 24/7 customer support, a range of transfer options including spot and forward contracts, and a user-friendly online platform, enhancing convenience and flexibility for global financial transactions.
OFX offers exchange rates that beat the banks, and are close or equal to the rates offered by the industry’s lowest-cost services.
When you register via our OFX 0.5% exclusive offer for BER users the cost of sending, for example, 5,000 US dollars to Australia equates to 0.5 percent of the transferred amount, or roughly US$25. You’d pay the same 0.5 percent for the same amount to be sent to Europe and around 1 percent if sending to India. This compares with 4–7 percent with the banks.
For other currency routes we looked at (routes involving AUD, INR, GBP, EUR, SGD and USD), the average cost of an international payment with OFX was 0.6 percent of the transferred amount. This is exceptional if compared with banks but can be a little more expensive than what is charged by the industry’s lowest-cost services, although such services do not offer the same benefits and customer service as OFX.

The recent turmoil in US-China trade relations has exerted downward pressure on the US dollar (USD) against the Chinese yuan (CNY). According to analysts, the ongoing tit-for-tat tariffs initiated by the Trump administration have contributed to decreased investor confidence in the USD. The imposition of an 84% tariff by Beijing in response to US tariffs, along with rising government borrowing costs, has led markets to reassess the stability of the dollar amidst recession fears.

There are several ways to save on exchange rates when converting US dollar to Chinese yuan:
Generally speaking, if you are buying Chinese yuan with US dollar, then it's better for the USD/CNY exchange rate to be higher.
However working against you are the fees all foreign exchange providers charge for providing their service. These fees is usually contained within the exchange rate margin (or difference to the mid-rate).
The transaction margin you end up being charged can be considerably reduced by around a few percent (of total amount being exchanged) for travel money and possibly over 5% to 6% when sending money. The exact potential savings depends on the currencies being exchanged and the amount you are transferring and if you are willing to shop around.
Our real-time foreign transfer and travel money/cards comparison calculators make shopping around easy and help you calculate how much you can save.

The expat life in China can vary greatly depending on a number of factors, including one's location, job, and personal circumstances.
In major cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, the expat community is well-established and there are many resources available for newcomers, such as expat-oriented social groups and clubs. Living in these cities can offer a good balance of modern conveniences and cultural experiences.
However, life in smaller cities or more rural areas can be more challenging, as the expat community may be smaller and there may be fewer resources available.
Working in China as an expat can be both rewarding and challenging. Some companies will provide good support to expats and may even offer language classes and relocation assistance, while others may not.
