Looks like alternative options for funding available and different user accounts for mainland china and international bank acccount holders.
Which user account type should I select?
If you have a bank account opened in Mainland China, please select Mainland China account. Otherwise, please select International account.
Please note: Once this is set, it cannot be changed.
What is the difference between the two account types?
Mainland China account can:
Fund through: 1. Yi Jin Dong 2. Bank Transfer 3. BTCC Voucher
Withdraw to: 1. BTCC Voucher 2. Bank Account
International account can:
Fund through: 1. BTCC Voucher
Withdraw to: 1. BTCC Voucher
Note: For CNY fund/withdraw assistance, please email us at [email protected].
Are the BTCC Voucher for the two account types the same?
No. The BTCC Voucher withdrew to Mainland account users cannot be funded into International account users, and vice versa.
I'm not sure what this means exactly, but it looks like a response to the PBOC issue... someone correct me if I'm wrong.
At the very least.. it CLEARLY says
Mainland China account can:
Fund through: 1. Yi Jin Dong 2. Bank Transfer 3. BTCC Voucher
Withdraw to: 1. BTCC Voucher 2. Bank Account
THIS SEEMS TO VERIFY THAT BANK ACCESS WILL CONTINUE TO BE AVAILABLE FOR MAINLAND CHINA ACCOUNTS!
I just noticed that neither account type lists the option to withdraw BTC. Not allowing BTC withdrawals would satisfy the government's concern about capital flight, but would make it totally useless for buying BTC. Could they really be planning to disable BTC withdrawals as part of their business plan adjustment?
