Now I understand why NanoOp was so keen to get his hands on a BOC account…
It’s ICBC(Industral and Comercial Bank of China), the TOP of the Big Four in China, ppl may make fun by calling it “the Bank of Universe”, and BOC is the worst among the Big Four in China.(the other two banks are Agricultral Bank of China and China Construction Bank), but BOC is doing a great job in international segment.
Can’t be bother opening a BOC account in the UK and haven’t tried in Panama. Haven’t heard great things about them anyways.
Some of those ICBC cards look fantastic.
No need, the local bank is way better,the biggest advantage of the BOC/ICBC oversea branch is that people could have a smoother experience and fee-free/or lower international transcation fee within their system when transfering foreign currency between China and destination country/region. If you really want to open BOC, I can only recommend you BOC HK(they recently launched a Mastercard debit which can be added into mobile wallet, no international ATM withdraw fee, better exchange rate than HSBC HK,and 0.5% cashback), but their app is like a tragic.

I still really like the Barclays redesign. But, Barclays.
Anyone know if they’ve updated the Apple Pay images yet?
They have not.
Be nice if their notifications had sound too.
That dark blue card on bottom of image one looks amazing!
This reminds me I need to go to China again and see if I can get that AmEx debit card.
Danke, sehr nett von Ihnen. ![]()

I have a very nice one from CITIC bank, but it will freeze 120% of every non-CNY transaction for a month.(A feature for all CNY amex debit)
Recently they have some cashback activities in Asia, like spending money in non-mainland Chinese restaurant with the equivalent of 200CNY could earn you 30CNY cashback plus 1% cashback.
