How much is the safest for mainland Chinese investors to withdraw from exchanges each time?

How much is the safest for mainland Chinese investors to withdraw from exchanges each time?

Mainly depends on the following factors:

1. Legal and Compliance

• Monitoring of large transfers in personal accounts:

According to the bank's anti-money laundering and large transaction reporting regulations, individual accounts with a single transaction or daily cumulative amount of 50,000 RMB (cash) or 200,000 RMB (transfer) will be automatically reported by the bank's system.

• Foreign exchange restrictions:

If the withdrawal involves foreign currency, each person has a quota of 50,000 USD per year for currency purchase; amounts beyond this require special application.

2. Bank Risk Control

• Frequency and Amount:

The withdrawal amount should not be too large or frequent, for example, a single transfer of less than 100,000 is less likely to attract the bank's attention.

• Quick in and out risk:

If funds are transferred out of the account shortly after entering, it may trigger the bank's risk control mechanism.

3. Selection of U Merchants and Exchanges

• Choose trustworthy U merchants:

Avoid transactions with U merchants of unknown funding sources. It is recommended to withdraw in multiple transactions, with a single amount below 50,000, which can effectively reduce the risk of being flagged by the bank's risk control.

• Exchange restrictions:

Some exchanges may set limits on the amount and frequency of withdrawals, and the specific limits depend on the exchange's rules and your account authentication level.

4. Practical Operation Suggestions

1) Amount diversification:

The suggested withdrawal amount should be controlled between 10,000 and 50,000 RMB, withdrawing in multiple transactions.

2) Withdrawal intervals:

Maintain intervals between withdrawals to avoid multiple large amounts entering the same account within a short period.

3) Fund retention:

Keep some funds in the account for a period of time to avoid triggering risk control due to 'quick in and out'.

4) Use multiple accounts:

If the amount is large, it can be dispersed across multiple accounts for operation.

5. Card Freezing Risk

• The main reason for card freezing is the presence of involved funds in the capital chain, such as funds from U merchants of unknown sources.

• Even if the withdrawal amount is small, if the associated account is monitored, it may still be affected.
