| Wang Jianshuo, you need to let your international readers know the following tidbit of information about the China Merchants International Credit Card that you promoted.
China Merchants Bank offers a card with a credit limit up to 50,000rmb. To apply for a card you will to 1) Complete the application form 2) Provide a copy of your passport 3) Have your company provide a stamped declaration of what your salary is 4) Have your company provide a stamped declaration saying you have been in China longer than a year. Your signed and stamped contract would work for this. Ok, those are the written regulations. There is one more MAJOR unwritten regulation that I learned only after pressing bank officials for over 30 minutes. The company China Merchants Bank outsources its credit card services to also requires that foreigners work for a FORTUNE 500 company. Yep, that's right. It doesnt matter whether you work for a Chinese company or another relatively large foreign company. If it isnt FORTUNE 500, you will be denied an international credit card. Dont waste your time applying. |
