CNY stands for Chinese yuan renminbi — the official currency of the People's Republic of China. It is also referred to as RMB. The symbol is ¥ and the ISO 4217 code is CNY.

What exchange rate should I use?

Use the mid-market rate for a reference figure, or your bank's buy/sell rate for actual transactions. Rates fluctuate continuously, so always fetch a fresh rate before large transfers.
