MAS extends suspension of remittances to China through unauthorised channels for 6 more months

It will be effective until 30 September 2024.

The Monetary Authority of Singapore extended for six more months the suspension of remittances to China through channels that are not specifically permitted.

In a statement, MAS said it has not received any report of monies transmitted to China through such channels that were subsequently frozen by law enforcement agencies in China.

“To minimise risks to consumers remitting funds to China, MAS has decided to extend the suspension to 30 September 2024,” MAS said.

Last year, the agency issued a notice urging remittance companies to rely only on banking and card channels for remittances to China, effective 1 January 2024.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
