FXOpen just announced that China Union Pay is once again available for forex processing. China Union Pay, one of the only available methods of processing forex deposits from China, unexpectedly suspended processing of forex deposits on October 2011. The official announcement mentioned that this suspension should last only a month but we estimated that this would be the end of this method as forex trading is not allowed in China. Luckily for forex brokers however the suspension only lasted 3.5 months.

This is good news. I’m starting to tap the China market and any easy way for customers to open/fund accounts is a good thing. Hello FXOpen, I need to talk to you.

Union Pay still doesn’t process forex … FXopen are probably using a PSP that is willing to disguise the credit card MCC codes on the transactions and mark them as something other than forex like e-commerce or something, or they probably go via an e-wallet or some other sort of work-around.
Other brokers have been doing this from day one … its not rocket science 🙂
The fact that they don’t process withdrawals back to Union Pay is a dead give-away…
