Banking hours and days vary from bank to bank in Beijing. However, most Chinese banks are open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. or 5 p.m., and have branches that are open on Saturdays and Sundays. 

The services offered by the small number of branches set up by international banks in China are quite limited under current government regulations. Only two foreign banks in China have ATMs (there are no drive-in ATMs in Beijing): 

American Express 

Holders of American Express cards can cash personal checks for $2,000 to $3,000 over a 21-day period at the CITIC Bank in the Citic Building, 19 Jianguomenwai Dajie. Bring your credit card and passport with you. Designated branches of many Chinese banks can provide cash advances with a Visa card. 

Bank of China 

Cash withdrawals can be made at Bank of China ATMs located at various branches and major department stores and shopping centers around the city, including the China World Trade Center, the Sci-Tech Department Store, the Lufthansa Department Store, and the Sun Dong An Department Store. ATM machines are also located at the airport. A RMB25 fee is charged for each transaction. Bank of China ATMs accepts major international bank cards, including: Cirrus, Plus, Amex, Visa, Visa Interlink, and MasterCard.
