In December 2024, SHCH and CIPS jointly launched CCNet Cross-border RMB Clearing Service.

CCNet Cross-border Service built on the SHCH’s expertise in risk management, clearing and settlement as well as CIPS payment system framework. It provides a safer, more reliable and convenient payment and settlement environment for cross-border commodity transactions to effectively address the challenges of low efficiency and payment difficulties in traditional offline trade.

The first batch of cross-border service includes 4 spot clearing members,  Bank of China, Bank of China (Hong Kong), China Construction Bank and Industrial and Commercial Bank of China.
