Chinese Regulators Implement $15,000 Annual Restriction on ATM’s Overseas

Regulators consider the $15,000 cap to be sufficient for Chinese overseas who wish to withdraw from mainland Chinese banks. The new policy was implemented to halt the excessive outpour of money from China through Bitcoin and other crypto currencies.

The average Chinese resident overseas withdrew from Chinese banks totaled to about a third of the new restriction, so regulators do not think there should be any issues. However, Chinese politicians and oligarchs would be exempt from the restrictions through the use of loopholes and virtual currency.

Chinese residents must comply with this new policy or face a punishment of being barred from withdrawing cash overseas from Chinese banks for up to two years. The punishment hopes to deter individuals from getting involved with money laundering and tax evasion.
