MAS extends suspension of remittances to China through unauthorised channels for 6 more months

It will be effective until 30 September 2024.

The Monetary Authority of Singapore extended for six more months the suspension of remittances to China through channels that are not specifically permitted.

In a statement, MAS said it has not received any report of monies transmitted to China through such channels that were subsequently frozen by law enforcement agencies in China.

“To minimise risks to consumers remitting funds to China, MAS has decided to extend the suspension to 30 September 2024,” MAS said.

Last year, the agency issued a notice urging remittance companies to rely only on banking and card channels for remittances to China, effective 1 January 2024.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
