Yuan to pound, priced against a real China invoice
The rate tells you the size of the invoice. It does not tell you how you will settle it.

A CNY to GBP figure answers one question: how big is this supplier's invoice in money you think in. It says nothing about the route that actually settles it. Unigox prices the yuan the recipient must receive, then pays their Chinese business account from USDT or USDC already in your Unigox Wallet.
- Invoice entered in CNY
- USDT or USDC funding
- Chinese business account as the destination
Read the invoice in pounds, settle it in stablecoins
Start from the CNY total your supplier issued, see what that is worth in sterling for your own records, then fund the payment from the wallet balance you already hold.

How much is one yuan in pounds?
The indicative CNY to GBP reference rate on this page is read from the same live service the rest of the site uses, and is stated with the time it was read so you can judge how current it is. It is orientation, not a quote: it carries no route, no fee and no counterparty. The number that decides anything is the amount you fund against the exact CNY your supplier's account receives, and that is issued against a specific invoice and moment.
Sterling funding is not yet available on this route. Today the settlement leg runs from a USDT or USDC balance in your Unigox Wallet, and the pound figure here is a reference for sizing the invoice.

Why a converter and a payment quote are different numbers
A currency converter prices one unit against another at a moment, with nothing attached. A payment quote prices a specific transfer: a named recipient, a route that will carry it, a spread, a fee, and a window during which the price holds. The two are not competing answers to the same question — they answer different questions, and only one of them results in a supplier being paid.
That gap is why this page publishes the reference rate with a timestamp rather than presenting it as what you will pay. Comparing an unattached mid-market figure with an all-in payment total and calling the difference a markup compares a number that commits nobody with one that commits a payment.
- Reference rate: useful for sizing an invoice and for your own records.
- Payment quote: the amount you fund for the recipient to receive the stated CNY, issued in the flow.
- Compare like with like — CNY received divided by total funded, not headline against headline.
What settles the invoice today
The supported destination is a company's bank account in mainland China, reached over CNAPS, the domestic clearing system. The constraint is the product rather than a gap in it: a corporate account is what a supplier invoices from and what their own books reconcile against. An individual's Chinese account is refused on this route, and so is an account in Hong Kong.
Funding comes from a USDT or USDC balance in your Unigox Wallet; sterling is what you read the invoice in, not what you send. Amount limits apply to the payout leg and are shown in the flow before you commit — a very small invoice can fall below the route's floor, and a large one can exceed what liquidity will carry at that moment, in which case it is paid in stages you agree with your supplier. A price, once issued, holds for a stated window and is re-priced rather than honoured stale if you leave it.
Built for the way the United Kingdom pays China
Two things shape this flow: China is a major sourcing corridor for the United Kingdom, and the invoice at the end of it is written in yuan and paid into a mainland company account.
Yuan-to-pound questions before you settle
01Can I fund this with a GBP bank transfer?
Not today. The settlement leg currently runs from a USDT or USDC balance in your Unigox Wallet. The pound figure on this page is a reference for sizing the invoice, not a funding option.
02Is RMB the same currency as CNY?
Three labels, one currency: renminbi is what it is called, yuan is the unit a price is counted in, and CNY is the code a bank statement uses. A UK buyer usually meets all three in a week — RMB in a WeChat message, CNY on the proforma, a bare ¥ on the packing list — and they refer to the same amount.
03Can I pay an individual in China?
The supported bank destination is a Chinese business account. An individual's account is not a supported destination on this route.
04How current is the rate shown here?
It is read on the server when the page is built for you and stamped with the time it was read, on the London clock. If the rate service does not answer, the page shows no figure rather than a stale one.
Turn the pound figure into a paid supplier invoice
Open the payment flow, add the recipient and compare GBP, USDT, USDC before funding.

Built for importers and repeat supplier payers. A private individual paying a business invoice runs the same checks and gets the same quote — the recipient on this route is always a company.
