Many friends are not very clear about the distinction between U Cards and foreign exchange. U Cards, whether they are Hong Kong cards or US dollar cards, do not occupy foreign exchange quotas, and it has nothing to do with whether they are linked to Alipay or WeChat. Essentially, they use stablecoins like USDT or other cryptocurrencies as a means of recharge. To clarify further, these cryptocurrencies are "settled" into foreign exchange before they can be used on the card.

The essence of the U Card is that it is a prepaid foreign exchange card (savings card). The recharge process is not subject to the supervision of the "Bank of China," so there is naturally no limit of fifty thousand US dollars. The same principle applies to the Hong Kong card of the U Card; it bypasses China's restrictions, which is why large transactions may trigger some regulatory inquiries.

The main question will be why there is so much foreign exchange, as the card issuer can determine that it is a foreign exchange card. If the cardholder has overseas identity or work status, or is involved in foreign trade transactions, there shouldn't be much of a problem. Overall, using a U Card for normal life in China, without involving large payments, should not pose any issues.
