Post subject: China Merchant's Bank

Hi, I need to transfer money to someone in a China Merchant's Bank.
Someone knows where is the nearest China Merchant's Bank in Jinqiao? if we have one here?
I know there is one in Lujiazui, but I don't have time to go there!

I live near JinQiao Carrefour, so, any idea around there, thanks a lot!!

Adammer, I know there's a lot of banks around here, I allways use BOC.
But I don't know if can go to BOC and transfer money to China Merchant's Bank!
In Brazil I allways did it, but here I don't know how it works, and if I call and ask them, they just say maybe or they need to check...
So, I'm not sure.I don't want to transfer money to the wrong bank or person...
I think I found one CMB at JinQiao Road, not near my place, but I will try to go there.
I was looking for at Google and ask my ayi to read the street names for me!

But, if you think it's possible for me go to BOC and transfer money to CMB, please tell me, it's much easier for me then!!

Thanks!

underh20, whats 9555?????

95555 is the telephone number for China Merchant's Bank. They speak English.

If you need to transfer money to other banks on a routine basis, ICBC's online banking in English allows it, but there is a fee.

of course you can transfer money from BOC to CMB, but it only can get to debit card, not availabe for credit card.
there is a branch on jinqiao road of CMB,that is 1398 jinqiao road,near jintai road or yang gao road

Thanks, adammer, I'll go to BOC tomorrow morning and see if they can do it.
I don't have the debit card, cause my husband is travelling and has it, but I 'll try with the bank "book".
It was this address at JinQiao that I found in the internet, any problem at BOC, I'll go there.
Thanks a lot!
