How to Get a Bank Account & Card
Bring a valid passport to the bank counter, after getting a queue number from the staff/machine at the front desk.
Fill in the bank account application. (For this, you will need a Chinese phone number, and possibly even a residence permit or work permit / student ID. Additionally, you will also need your Chinese address.)
With provision of your passport and after application in any of the bank's business outlets, a bank card will immediately be issued to you.
After getting the bank card, you can use an ATM to verify or change the password. (Keep in mind that if you wish to change your bank password, or any other details such as phone number, more paperwork will be required.)
Note: For some banks, the paperwork for the bank account application may only be in Chinese! In such a case, it may be very useful to have a Chinese friend assist you, or a translation APP on your phone.
