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.
