From the banks of the Pearl River, a multitude of merchants gathered as the 139th China Import and Export Fair commenced in Guangzhou on April 15th. As the comprehensive strategic partner of the event, BANKCOMM enhanced the renowned "China's No.1 Fair" with its efficient, convenient, and diverse financial services, adding a distinct touch of "BANKCOMM Blue."
A Financial "Gift Pack" for Enhanced Convenience For this session of the Canton Fair, BANKCOMM, under the theme "Connecting the World, Navigating the Globe," set up exhibition halls in Zones D and B of the complex, blending Lingnan cultural characteristics with a technological aesthetic. The Zone D hall prominently featured a "financial gift pack" introduced by the bank for exhibitors, global buyers, and individual clients. This package encompasses services including corporate financing support, cross-border settlement, green finance, exchange rate risk hedging, and convenient public-benefit products. During the fair, themed promotion events such as "Payment Facilitation" and "Bank of Communications Global Services" will be held in the hall, inviting active participation from attendees. The hall is also equipped with foreign currency exchange machines, allowing international visitors to quickly exchange six major currencies—US Dollar, Euro, British Pound, Japanese Yen, Hong Kong Dollar, and South Korean Won—upon presenting valid identification.
Beyond the exhibition grounds, BANKCOMM's Guangdong Branch leverages its network of over 200 branches to establish "foreign-related service windows." These provide comprehensive financial services for non-residents, including convenient account opening, foreign cash exchange, foreign card cash withdrawals via smart terminals, digital RMB mobile payments, and small change wallets, ensuring "warm service inside the hall and seamless support outside."
The Zone B hall focused on showcasing BANKCOMM's ongoing enhancements to its "BOC Bay Connect" series of scenario-based services, such as FX Connect, Corporate Finance Connect, Wealth Connect, Joy Connect, and Service Connect. These services are designed to facilitate smooth two-way capital flows between domestic and international markets, actively helping Greater Bay Area enterprises connect with new global opportunities.
A Financial Engine for Intelligent Global Linkages As a key financial force serving high-standard opening-up, BANKCOMM operates in sync with the Canton Fair, actively fulfilling its role as a financial bridge to provide all-around financial service support for global exhibitors and buyers. Aligning with the vigorous development of new foreign trade formats, the bank is leveraging financial technology as an engine to upgrade its specialized scenario services. For cross-border e-commerce enterprises, it has optimized its "E-Commerce Connect" service, enabling instant cross-border fund settlement and automated order matching. For shipping and logistics companies, it introduced the "Shipping Butler" solution, embedding financial services into processes like booking, customs declaration, and logistics transportation, and offering specialized products such as freight financing and insurance policy pledging to precisely meet business operational needs.
Concurrently, BANKCOMM is vigorously promoting its "BOC Shipping and Trade Connect" platform, deeply integrating financial services into the entire shipping and trade chain. By consolidating information flow, cargo flow, and capital flow, and focusing on the entire process of a company's foreign trade, the bank has built a one-stop service matrix covering cross-border payments, efficient financing, and information analysis, committed to delivering smarter, more efficient, and more convenient cross-border financial solutions.
BANKCOMM continues to accelerate its innovation pace to actively serve the national strategy for Pilot Free Trade Zones. On April 17th, during the new product launch event at the Canton Fair, the bank will officially release the "Bank of Communications Pilot Free Trade Zone Financial Service Solution." Centered around a "five-in-one" cross-border financial account system comprising domestic accounts, NRA non-resident accounts, FT/EF free trade accounts, OSA offshore accounts, and innovative offshore RMB accounts, this solution integrates cross-border settlement, investment and financing, and offshore finance businesses. It aims to precisely help enterprises seize the policy benefits of FTZs and expand into global markets.
