How to bring money to study abroad?

The following two methods are recommended for large sums of money

1. International credit cards

are comprehensive in service, safe to carry and easy to use. Consumption abroad can use credit cards directly or overdraw. No matter which bank issues credit cards, as long as they belong to international credit card organizations, such as VISA cards or MASTER cards, they can be spent by special merchants in different countries and regions, and they can also be cashed out at member banks or withdrawn from ATMs marked with "PLUS" or "CIRRUS" all over the world.

no matter in which country you spend or withdraw cash, the bank will automatically convert it into the currency of your credit card for settlement according to the foreign exchange trading quotation published by the international credit card organization, thus reducing the loss and trouble of foreign currency exchange.

2. Traveler's checks

are widely accepted by tourists, hotels and banks because they have many currencies and can be directly used for consumption. If the denomination is high and there is no expiration date, you can report the loss. If you use it, you can get change just like cash.

Traveler's checks are issued by internationally recognized companies or organizations. For example, American Express Traveler's Checks issued by the famous American Express Company and VISA Traveler's Checks issued by VISA International Organization can be used all over the world. Even if they cannot be directly consumed, many banks can cash them.

the purchase fee is generally around 1%. A certain handling fee may be charged when you are in consumption abroad. When the unused traveler's checks are exchanged in China, some expenses will be deducted.
