The Clearing House Payments Co. LLC said last week that Citic Bank is the fifth Chinese banking company to use its Chips network to carry high-value payments in dollars.
Peter Zhao, the Beijing financial company's head of U.S. operations, said in a press release from Clearing House Payments that working with Chips would help Citic expand globally.
And it would also give Citic an "opportunity to accelerate the growth of its dollar-clearing business," he said.
Chips processes more than 350,000 wire payments daily, including 95% of international U.S. dollar clearing.
