What is CIPS? China's Cross-Border RMB Payment System
CIPS (Cross-Border Interbank Payment System) is China's dedicated infrastructure for RMB-denominated cross-border payments and clearing, operated under the People's Bank of China. Launched in October 2015, it combines payment messaging and settlement in a single system — unlike SWIFT, which is a pure messaging network requiring separate correspondent banking arrangements.
CIPS vs SWIFT: SWIFT processes over 40 million messages daily across 11,000+ institutions in 200+ countries. CIPS has 100+ direct participants and 1,300+ indirect participants in 110+ countries as of 2024. CIPS settles directly in RMB, removing the need for USD as an intermediary currency.
Why this data matters: Daily CIPS volume is a direct real-time indicator of RMB internationalization — particularly among countries reducing reliance on the dollar-based correspondent banking system.
Currency display: CIPS publishes settlement value in RMB. China Data Portal keeps the official RMB value and adds an approximate USD equivalent for international readers. USD equivalents use PBC RMB/USD monthly rates; latest page conversion uses 2026-05 RMB/USD 6.82.
