The Hainan free trade account system dispenses with the earlier requirement of maintaining two accounts, one for domestic transactions and the other for international transactions, replacing them with a unified domestic and foreign currency account with the renminbi as the base currency.

海南自由贸易账户体系不再执行此前保留两个账户，即一个国内交易账户、一个国际交易账户的要求，用一套以人民币为本位币、本外币统一的账户取而代之。

海南自由贸易账户（Hainan free trade account）是指海南省金融机构根据客户需要在分账核算单元开立的规则统一的本外币账户，按照“一线便利，二线管理”的原则规范账户收支管理，是一套以人民币为本位币（renminbi as its base currency）、账户规则统一（using unified accounting rules）、兼顾本外币风险差别管理（taking into account types of different risk management between the renminbi and foreign currencies）的本外币可兑换账户体系（a convertible accounting system），是海南自由贸易试验区的重要金融基础设施。

The Hainan free trade account system allows market entities to conveniently carry out investment, financing, and cross-border transactions applicable to the Hainan free trade zone.
海南自由贸易账户为市场主体在海南自贸区开展投资、融资和跨境贸易提供了便利。

海南自由贸易账户体系建设，是海南确定的自贸区(港)建设十二个先导性项目之一（one of the 12 pilot programs）。账户正式上线运行对于促进市场主体贸易投融资汇兑便利化（facilitating trade investment and financing）、提升海南自由贸易试验区(港)营商环境（improve business environment in Hainan Pilot Free Trade Zone）具有重要意义。
