Basic Wire Transfer Process · 基础汇款流程
basicHi, I need to send money to my family in China. What do I need for an international wire transfer?
你好,我需要给中国的家人汇款。办理国际汇款需要什么?
💡 从美国汇款到中国是留学生和移民最常见的需求之一。银行汇款(wire transfer)是最正规的方式,但手续费较高。很多人也用 Wise、Remitly 等在线服务。
Sure, for an international wire you'll need the recipient's full name, their bank's SWIFT code, their account number, and the bank's address. Do you have that information?
好的,国际汇款您需要收款人全名、收款银行的SWIFT代码、账号以及银行地址。您有这些信息吗?
Yes, I have everything. How much is the fee for sending a wire to China?
有的,都有。汇款到中国的手续费是多少?
💡 美国银行的国际汇款手续费通常在25-50美元之间,比中国的银行汇款费用高很多。有些银行对 premium 客户减免手续费。
The outgoing wire fee is $45. There might also be an intermediary bank fee of $15 to $25 on the receiving end. And keep in mind the exchange rate — we use the mid-market rate plus a small spread.
汇出手续费是45美元。收款端可能还会有15到25美元的中间银行费用。另外请注意汇率——我们用中间市场汇率加一个小点差。
I see. How long will it take for the money to arrive in China?
明白了。钱到中国需要多长时间?
💡 国际汇款一般需要1-5个工作日,到中国通常2-3个工作日。比国内转账慢很多。周末和节假日不处理。
International wires to China typically take two to three business days. If you send it before our cutoff time at 3 PM, it'll start processing today.
国际汇款到中国通常需要两到三个工作日。如果您在下午3点截止时间前发出,今天就会开始处理。
Exchange Rates & Tracking · 汇率比较和追踪
intermediateBefore I send the wire, can you tell me what exchange rate you're offering today for US dollars to Chinese yuan?
在汇款之前,你能告诉我今天美元兑人民币的汇率是多少吗?
💡 银行给的汇率通常比实际中间市场汇率差一些,这个差额就是银行的利润。可以对比 Google 或 XE.com 上的实时汇率来判断银行加了多少。
Today's rate is 7.18 yuan per dollar. That includes our spread. The mid-market rate is about 7.24, so our markup is roughly 0.8%.
今天的汇率是1美元兑7.18人民币,已包含我们的点差。中间市场汇率大约是7.24,所以我们的加价大约0.8%。
That's helpful, thanks. If I send $2,000, roughly how much will my family receive in yuan after all the fees?
很有帮助,谢谢。如果我汇2000美元,扣掉所有费用后我家人大约能收到多少人民币?
💡 美国汇款时很重要的一点是要问清楚总到账金额(net amount),因为手续费和汇率差价会让实际到账金额比你想象的少。
Let me calculate. $2,000 minus the $45 wire fee is $1,955 converted. At 7.18, that's about 14,037 yuan. The receiving bank might deduct another small fee, so figure around 13,900 to 14,000 yuan.
我算一下。2000美元减去45美元手续费,实际兑换1955美元。按7.18的汇率,大约是14037元人民币。收款银行可能还会扣一小笔费用,所以大约到账13900到14000元。
OK, let's go ahead with the transfer. Can I get a confirmation number to track it?
好的,那就办理吧。我能拿到一个确认号来追踪汇款吗?
💡 汇款确认号(confirmation number / reference number)非常重要,一定要保存好。如果汇款出问题,银行需要这个号码来查询。
Absolutely. Once I process the wire, you'll get a confirmation receipt with a reference number. You can track the status online or call us. I'll also send a confirmation to your email on file.
当然。汇款处理完后,您会收到一张带有参考号码的确认收据。您可以在线追踪状态或打电话给我们。我也会把确认信息发送到您的注册邮箱。
