If you're travelling to China, it's important to shop around and compare currency suppliers to maximise your chances of getting a good deal. We can help you to find the best Chinese yuan exchange rate by comparing a wide range of UK travel money suppliers who have Chinese yuan in stock and ready to order online now. Our comparisons automatically factor in all costs and commission, so all you need to do is tell us how much you want to spend and we'll show you the top suppliers who fit the bill.
Some of the best travel money deals are only available when you buy online. By using a comparison site, you're more likely to see the full range of deals on offer and get the best rate.
Always place your order online, even if you plan to collect your currency in person. Most supermarkets and high street currency suppliers offer better exchange rates if you order online beforehand.
If you're travelling with others, consider placing one large currency order instead of buying individually. Many currency suppliers offer enhanced rates that improve as you order more.
Over the past 30 days, the Chinese yuan rate is up 0.23% from 9.1239 on 7 Mar to 9.1449 today. This means one pound will buy more Chinese yuan today than it would have a month ago. Right now, £750 is worth approximately ¥6,858.68 which is ¥15.75 more than you'd have got on 7 Mar.
These are the average Chinese yuan rates taken from our panel of UK travel money providers at the end of each day. You can explore this further on our British pound to Chinese yuan currency chart.
The official currency of China is the 'renminbi' which literally translates to 'the people's currency', but individual monetary units are expressed in 'yuan' (prounced yoo-an) which means 'round object' or 'coin'.
One Chinese yuan (¥) can be subdivided into 10 jiǎo (meaning 'corner') and 100 fēn ('fraction').
There are six denominations of Chinese yuan banknotes in circulation: ¥1, ¥5, ¥10, ¥20, ¥50 and ¥100; and three coin denominations: ¥0.1, ¥0.5 and ¥1.

Sending money to a company you might not have heard of before can be unsettling. We routinely check all the companies that feature in our comparisons to make sure they meet our strict listing criteria, but it's still worth knowing how your money is protected in the unlikely event a company goes bust and you don't receive your order.
Your money is not protected if you pay by bank transfer. If the company goes bust and you've paid by bank transfer, it's unlikely you'll get your money back. For this reason, we recommend you pay by debit or credit card wherever possible because they offer more financial protection.
Debit cards are the most popular payment method and they offer some financial protection. If you pay by debit card and the company goes bust, you can instruct your bank to make a chargeback request to recover your money from the company's bank. This isn't a legal right, and a refund isn't guaranteed, but if you make a chargeback request your bank is obliged to try and recover your money.
Credit cards offer full financial protection, and your money is protected by law under Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act. Section 75 states that your card issuer must refund you in full if you don't receive your order. Be aware that many credit cards charge a cash advance fee (typically around 3%) for buying currency, so you may have to weigh up the benefits of full financial protection with the extra cost of using a credit card.
