Important Reminder Regarding Strengthening Compliant Use of Bank Account by International Students

Dear Valued Customers,

To help ensure the safety of your accounts and funds, and to promote the proper usage of your accounts, Bank of China (Canada) reminds international student clients of the following:

1. Account opening must be completed by the yourself. 

Account opening, activation, and document verification must be completed by the account holder in person. Third-party or agent-assisted account opening is not accepted in order to prevent fraud, information leakage, and risks to fund security. 

2. Compliant account usage in accordance with anti-money laundering law and regulations.

Your account is for your personal use only. Do not assist others in opening accounts, depositing funds, or receiving or transferring money on their behalf. Do not lend, share, or allow any third party to use your account.  Violation of anti-money laundering laws and regulations may lead to account restriction and/or closure. 

3.  Close account before leaving Canada. 

If you have completed your studies, ceased to reside in Canada, or plan to leave Canada for an extended period and will no longer use the account, please visit us in person to close your account before departure. Longtime unused accounts may incur service fees and create security risks. 

Thank you for your supporting and cooperation.

If you have question, please contact Customer Service Hotline at 1-844-669-5566
