China CITIC Bank Beijing Branch Launches Spain Visa Convenient Channel to Build Cross-Border Financial Ecosystem
July 25th, China CITIC Bank Beijing Branch collaborated with the Spanish National Tourism Board, BLS International, and hosted a "Spain Visa Convenient Channel Service Launching Activity" and "Walk into Spain" travel salon. The Spanish Ambassador's tourism counselor, BLS International's responsible person, and nearly 50 clients gathered together to open up new explorations in cross-border services.
BLS International is the official visa center provider for the Spanish government worldwide. China CITIC Bank Beijing Branch has jointly launched Spain Visa Convenient Channel services with BLS International, realizing official authorization at home service for the first time, breaking through traditional visa application site limitations; customers can register at nearby branches in Beijing, participate in designated network point activities, and complete fingerprint collection and material submission on-site, averaging 3-5 minutes, eliminating the hassle of queuing at the visa center; qualified customers can enjoy exclusive benefits, with a maximum value of free handling, while enjoying high-quality services and saving travel costs.
In addition to visa services, China CITIC Bank Beijing Branch has built a comprehensive cross-border travel support system leveraging financial power. Based on the group's and headquarters' comprehensive financial platform, it has formed an all-encompassing service matrix covering visa application, overseas payment, and study abroad services. In the visa sector, besides the Spain Visa Convenient Channel, the "Global Sign" platform can handle various popular visas such as US and Canadian 10-year multiple-entry and UK 2-year multiple-entry, covering over 40 countries; in overseas payment, the "貔貅卡" (Wanxi Card) is a symbol of good luck, offering foreign consumption return, hotel discounts, and other benefits, supporting 8 currencies for direct payment, solving the problem of converting currencies during cross-border payments.
Targeting students studying abroad, China CITIC Bank's EasyGo Member Club provides comprehensive support from travel to study abroad, with a maximum gift package worth CNY 1,600, allowing families to feel the meticulous care of financial services. Ms. Wang, a high-ranking executive, said, "I thought the visa process would be complicated, but I was surprised that China CITIC Bank handled everything from application to issuance, and even provided doorstep service; it's really convenient." Student Zhang benefited directly from the high-value service, saving nearly CNY 5,000 through return refunds and visa discounts.
Since obtaining official authorization from the US Embassy in 1998, China CITIC Bank has cultivated the outbound financial field for 27 years, serving over 24 million people; the brand image "要出国 找中信" (Looking for China CITIC when going abroad) has deeply rooted in people's minds. This launch of the Spain Visa Convenient Channel is a new implementation of this brand concept. Starting today and until December 31st, 2025, qualified customers applying for this channel can enjoy a maximum gift package worth CNY 2,000, forming a cumulative effect of high-quality services and actual benefits.
This invitation not only marks the start of a service but also is a vivid practice of empowering people to live well – when convenient, efficient, and preferential services are within reach, the dream of traveling around the world becomes increasingly tangible.
