The TourCard aims to provide international travelers a straightforward, cost-efficient and more streamlined Chinese yuan renminbi (CNY) payment journey while traveling in China.

Swift Go is Swift’s fast, secure and predictable low-value payments solution that offers end-to-end visibility on payment status, as well as transparency on fees and FX costs.
