发帖数: 5892 | 15 VISA信用卡公司和中国银联的渠道争夺战升级。据悉，VISA信用卡公司近日向全球会员银行发函要求，从8月1日起，凡在中国大陆境外受理带VISA标志的双币种信用卡时，不论刷卡消费还是ATM取现，都不得走中国银联的清算通道，否则VISA将重罚收单银行。根据VISA的函件，如果收单银行走中国银联网络进行清算，第一次将罚款5万美元。如果收单行再犯，每月将罚款2.5万美元。
各方表态：
Visa：这是内部规章要求
Visa公司中国区公司事务总监刘婕上午表示，Visa此次发函符合公司内部运作规定，是“正常合规”的。
Visa表示，在使用Visa卡进行跨境交易时，如果交易被其他支付品牌的网络处理，一旦发生交易纠纷或数据泄露，将会给持卡人带来极大的风险。因此才要求Visa双币卡在海外交易时必须走Visa清算通道，并不针对其他机构。
刘婕还告诉记者，此次要求走Visa清算通道的是4字头的双币信用卡，以“62”开头的银联信用卡不受影响。
银联回应: visa封堵境外结算通道：单方无权限制
中国银联方面称，现已注意到近日媒体有关"银联、VISA"双标识卡问题的报道。

在境外走银联的通道，但就强调Visa“4”字头的卡片须经过Visa的支付网络来处理。
不过，中国银联对此认为，“银联、Visa”双标识卡不是纯粹的单品牌银行卡，任何一
方都无权单独对持卡人选择境外支付通道做出限制，持卡人拥有选择境外支付通道的权

文/记者刘新宇
此前的消息称，从今年8月1日起，凡是在中国境外(包括香港、澳门、台湾)受理带
Visa标识的内地双币种信用卡时，不论是刷卡消费还是ATM取现，都不得走中国银联的
清算通道。
Visa声明：“4”字头双标识卡不能走银联通道
Visa昨日的声明称，Visa的产品除了在卡片上带有Visa的品牌标识外， 还带有以
“4”字开头的16位BIN号。由于Visa已将“4”字开头的BIN号在国际标准组织ISO进行
了注册，所以所有“4”字开头、带Visa标识都应当遵守Visa的规则。这被业界视为是

发帖数: 839 | 18 这两天考古研究了什么卡在美国之外（比如回中国时）用划算。发现一个问题，大家都
是在说chase之类银行给的汇率好坏。我一直很纳闷，用visa标识的信用卡，在国外消
费，汇率走的不就应该是visa的批发汇率吗？这个和chase的汇率有什么关系呢。网上
搜来搜去，发现用美国信用卡的同学们貌似没人提出过这个问题。
根据我使用中国的信用卡的经验，信用卡使用外币时的总费用，就是卡组织（visa/
master/银联等）的汇率+foreign transaction fee（中国叫货币转换费）。比如银联
标的人民币卡，去欧洲消费，就是直接用银联提供的人民币-欧元的汇率；再比如中国
的双币卡，如果是visa美元的，去欧洲消费，就是用visa的美元-欧元汇率，然后以美
元入账。
银联的汇率比较坑，但是visa/master的批发汇率是非常优惠的，比银行的汇率要优惠
得多，中国的双币信用卡确实都是这么算的。
我就很纳闷，难道chase之流的国际化大银行，难道比中国的银行还黑？不用visa的汇
率，而用chase自己的汇率？怎么都不应该啊。

回复你。
先别急着说我逻辑错误，我并不想比较那个银行的汇率好坏，我只想证实一件事情：所
有visa信用卡的汇率用的都是visa卡组织的费率（不计国外交易费，正规大银行，没有
隐性收费）。至少目前来说，我找的那个外国网友blog四个国家十几个不同日期的交易
，本版上面至少3个网友爆出的交易（包括这个在欧洲的网友的3笔交易），都是和我的
想法符合的。我不知道你所说的经验是什么，很多人上来只报一个汇率，没有交易日期
，也没有原始金额，这样的经验没有任何参考价值，因为你我都没法拿这个经验去和
visa的比较。
接下来说说你的错误再哪里：
1、很明显你3月25日的欧元汇率查错了，我看到你贴出来的，就感觉不对，和我上午查
的记忆不符。刚才特意又查了一遍。这一天visa汇率1.300970。按照你的写法，倒数是
0.768657，和你在帐单上看到的0.768674273非常接近。当然你又会说还是有差距的，

15天内所有学生需要转学，15天后拿不出证据，学校关门。核光大学CEO同时也是国际
医药大学的CEO。
除VISA 欺诈，还有制造假文件，非法侵入政府电脑系统等其他罪名。
这个可是第二所中国人开的学校被查出VISA 诈欺了。 中文新闻里面好像都没提到。

发帖数: 947 | 46 在visa bulletin上的申请类别出现开放或倒退时，很多客人常常问到他们的申请什么
时候才会获得对应申请类别的visa number？对于这个问题，有关法律的回答是：
首先，申请人必须在相应的visa category 开放(current) 的情 况下才可以提出I-485
申 请。在提交申请后，USCIS会对此申请进行审核，然后可能会批准此申请并给予一个
visa number。在移 民官批准此申请时，visa bulletin相应类别也应该是开放的才可
以给予visa number。如果当时的visa bulletin不 是开 放的，那么USCIS 就会等到新
的visa number 发放之后才会批准申请。简单来说，申请在提出时及批准时，visa
bulletin都应 该是开 放的。
以上是法律规定的程序，但是也有不少人指出事实上一 些I-485申 请案 件即 使在
visa bulletin不开放的情况下也有被批准。导致这种情况的出现往往是因为visa
bulletin 在 current 和 not current状态之间突然改变的时候。有时候移民官在visa

发帖数: 10886 | 47 商报讯（记者 崔吕萍 周科竞）时隔一年，有关VISA封堵银联境外通道的传闻烽烟
再起。消息面显示，VISA国际组织日前向全球会员银行发函要求，从今年8月1日起，凡
是在中国内地境外受理带VISA标识的双币种信用卡时，不论是刷卡消费还是ATM取现，
都不得走中国银联的清算通道，否则VISA将重罚收单银行，第一次将罚款5万美元。如
果收单行再犯，每月将罚款2.5万美元。
虽然VISA国际组织亚太有限公司相关人士表示，此举是严格执行VISA全球业务运作
规章，并不针对某一个卡组织。但不少人士认为，上述举措显然针对一个具体对象——
中国银联。
事实上，早在去年4月份，就有境外会员银行称收到VISA发出的要求函件，函件明
确提到，收单行在刷同时拥有银联和VISA两个标识的卡时，只能用VISA的清算系统，否
则将以违约论处，对收单行进行罚款。
对于本次媒体提到“从8月1日起，对违规商户进行处罚”这一时间点，VISA相关人
士并未置评。中国银联总部相关人士昨日表示，已确认事件属实，“我们正在准备相关
的材料来应对这一事件，但目前没有可以透露的消息。”该人士称。
VISA与中国银联之间的“恩怨情仇”似 |

来源：新京报 2010年07月31日01:55我来说两句(5)复制链接打印大中小大中小大中小
国际卡组织VISA封堵银联境外网络的8月1日大限将在明日到来，但记者昨天从各大
中资银行及其客服热线了解到，目前各大行均未接到VISA“禁令”的执行通知。客服称
，8月1日之后境外刷双币卡依然可以走银联网络。VISA和银联此番的较量似乎不了了之
。不过，中国银联和VISA双方昨天均未作出回应。
银行方面未接到VISA通知
VISA国际组织曾在5月份向全球会员银行发函，要求从今年8月1日起，在境外受理
带VISA标志的双币信用卡时，必须走VISA清算通道，否则将重罚收单银行：第一次罚款
5万美元；如果再犯，每月将罚款2.5万美元。对中国的普通持卡人来说，在境外通过银
联通道清算时，系统将当地外币折算成人民币，不加收货币转换费等手续费；而通过
VISA清算则需要收取1%到2%的货币转换费。
但是记者昨天致电中国银行、建设银行、农业银行、招商银行、华夏银行、光大银
行的客服人员均明确表示，目前没有接到VISA的通知。中行的客服人员明确表示，8月1
