Local guide
A digital bank account lets people in Shanghai, China open and manage an account from a phone, without visiting a branch. If you earn or spend in CNY (Chinese yuan (renminbi)), compare whether each provider gives you local account details or only an international IBAN.
Before you sign up in Shanghai
Chinese accounts use a bank code plus account number (typically 16-19 digits); domestic interbank transfers ask for the recipient's full registered name and the bank's 12-digit CNAPS branch clearing code, while cross-border transfers use the bank's SWIFT/BIC. Confirm the provider is authorised by People's Bank of China (PBoC) or passported into China.
