In order to implement the task requirements of the "Nansha Plan" for the facilitation of digital RMB cross-border consumer payment, accelerate the construction of a more open and inclusive digital ecosystem, and help facilitate the domestic mobile payment facilitation of overseas personnel in the Greater Bay Area, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Bureau of Nansha Development Zone recently guided and promoted the Agricultural Bank of China Nansha Branch to set up a digital people's payment service demonstration zone in the Nansha Passenger Port area and successfully laid a digital RMB foreign currency exchange machine, successfully landing the application scenario of digital RMB payment facilitation for foreigners. Further improve the level of payment services for overseas arrivals.
At present, the two e-RMB foreign currency exchange machines successfully launched in Nansha support Chinese, English, Japanese and other language screens, and have functions such as exchanging foreign currency notes for RMB cash, exchanging foreign currency notes for digital RMB hard wallets, recharging foreign currency notes for digital RMB hard wallets, and querying the balance and transaction details of digital RMB hard wallets.
The self-service foreign currency exchange machine located in Nansha Passenger Port supports real-time exchange of 8 currencies including Hong Kong dollars, US dollars, British pounds and euros and deposits them into hard wallets, enabling foreigners to exchange digital RMB for consumption in Nansha more conveniently and instantly, and supports the acceptance and verification of ID cards, passports, Hong Kong and Macao travel permits and other types of documents for foreign currency exchange for RMB cash and digital yuan.
This not only meets the exchange needs of airports, entry and exit ports, foreign-related hotels and other scenarios, but also provides comprehensive digital RMB soft and hard wallet services for domestic and foreign individual customers, meeting the diversified payment service needs of overseas people.
According to reports, the digital yuan hard wallet has obvious advantages in improving the convenience of payment for foreigners.
1. Low payment threshold
Foreigners do not need to open a Chinese bank account after arriving in Guangzhou, and only need to apply for a hard wallet at the foreign currency self-service exchange machine at Nansha Passenger Port to make payments, simplifying the payment process.
2. Strong payment security
It is not only inconvenient for foreigners to carry a large amount of cash when they arrive in Guangzhou, but also poses a security risk. Using a hard wallet can reduce the use of cash and improve security.
3. Wide range of payment scenarios
With a hard wallet, you can use it in many consumption scenarios in Nansha District, such as Marriott Hotel, Sheraton Hotel, Wanda Plaza, etc., which have opened to support digital yuan, including online and offline transactions, which greatly facilitates the daily consumption of foreigners in Nansha.
4. Convenient foreign exchange
The foreign currency self-service exchange machine supports real-time exchange of 8 currencies such as US dollar, British pound and euro and deposits them into hard wallets, so that foreigners can more easily exchange their own currencies for consumption in the mainland.
Nansha is the core engine of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and an important entry point for foreigners. The launch of the digital RMB foreign currency exchange machine in the Nansha Passenger Port Payment Service Demonstration Zone is an important measure to implement the work requirements of the Nansha Plan, promote the construction of the Greater Bay Area, deepen the cooperation between the Mainland, Hong Kong and Macao, and promote the interconnection of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
It is reported that since the issuance and implementation of the "Nansha Plan", the Nansha Development Zone has accelerated the construction of digital RMB application scenarios, expanded the scope of people's livelihood incrementally, continued to innovate characteristic scenarios, and implemented the country's first use of digital RMB to cash out talent settlement subsidies, purchase parallel imported cars, and Guangdong Province's first digital RMB payment of rural collective assets transaction bidding deposit business, and many other national and provincial first cases, which are working with Guangzhou Port Group to create a special application scenario of digital RMB in the field of Nansha port and shipping. Relying on new trade service platforms such as the Global Traceability Center and the Premium Distribution Center, we will strive to achieve a breakthrough in the innovative application scenarios of digital RMB in Nansha.
