you don't need a dual-currency credit card. Some banks' dual-currency credit cards can be directly converted into pounds, and some have to be delivered in dollars first and then converted into pounds, with exchange rate losses in the middle, which is not cost-effective.
Generally, the deposit is paid directly by remittance. It is suggested to go to Bank of China, Bank of Communications and China Construction Bank, but it is estimated to go to large provincial branches, and some small banks cannot do it. The fees for the first two items are said to be 1 for 5 yuan and CCB.
Before you go to the bank, copy the information about the school account in the email sent by the school, such as the ACCOUNT NAME and IBAN number, and it is best to copy it all. Some schools may have other requirements, for example, the bank where your school account is located may charge a handling fee, so you have to prepare a deposit+bank handling fee for the amount of remittance, otherwise your deposit will be insufficient in the past; Some may ask you to add your invoice number and so on when you remit money. Look carefully at the requirements of the school, get all the information ready, and then bring money, ID card and bank card (ordinary cards should be all right, if you need a specific card, just ask the bank to open a new one for you).
you go to the lobby of the bank, ask the lobby manager, and tell him that you send money abroad, and he will give you an application form for overseas remittance, and then fill it out according to his instructions. Each ID card can subscribe for foreign currency equivalent to 5W USD. At the foreign currency window, you directly hand over the RMB to the bank, and ask him to directly exchange it for pounds at the spot quotation, and then deposit the pounds into your own bank card. Then fill in the bank card number in the position of the remitter's account on the overseas remittance slip. Just give the overseas remittance slip to the staff at the foreign currency window.
Basically, the lobby manager of the bank knows that all you have to do is take the school information with you and bring enough money, and then tell him what you want, and he will guide you to do it slowly.
after you remit the money, the bank will give you a remittance certificate, which is a blue one, which looks like a second copy. In short, it's best to keep it, scan it into an electronic file and send it to the school. If you do DIY yourself, if there is an intermediary, just hand it over to the intermediary, and the general intermediary will say it. Under normal circumstances, it will arrive there in 3 days.
these are the general procedures. if you have any questions, you can contact me again ~ ~ ~
