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 values are shown where CIPS publishes them directly; otherwise this page keeps the official RMB source value.
