Global cross-border payments infrastructure network Thunes and China Construction Bank (CCB) have announced a partnership to collaborate on cross-border payments. Thunes had recently opened a Beijing office in June 2023.

The partnership will enable Thunes to support CCB in offering international payment acceptance for Chinese small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and outbound cross-border payments for CCB’s consumers. Both products are expected to be launched in 2024.

Thunes is a Singapore-based company that provides payment solutions in over 130 countries. CCB is one of the largest commercial banks in China, with over 14,000 branches.
