Question 1

For B2B cross-border e-commerce, which US dollar collection method is the safest and most reliable?

Accepted Answer

Combined with anti-money laundering wind control and foreign exchange bureau regulatory requirements, third-party foreign trade collection accounts with global compliance licenses are the safest and most reliable. This kind of method is directly connected to the domestic and foreign clearing network, through API technology to achieve online foreign exchange declaration and settlement. Enterprises can not only enjoy a transparent real-time exchange rate, but also ensure the closed management of the transaction link, completely isolate the hidden dangers of frozen cards brought by unknown funds, which is the mainstream choice of B2B export enterprises.

Question 2

How to settle the overseas US dollar payment to the domestic personal card in compliance?

Accepted Answer

The settlement must be made through an institution with a cross-border payment license and based on a real trade background. The operation process is as follows: 1. Bind the domestic personal savings card of the legal person on the collection platform; 2. Upload the corresponding export trade order, logistics voucher and customs declaration form; 3. After the platform verifies the authenticity of the trade, it will make a balance of payments declaration to the foreign exchange bureau; 4. After the declaration is completed, the funds will be directly credited to the personal card in RMB, without occupying the facilitation quota of US $50000.

Question 3

Can customers use their personal accounts to make US dollar payments to their corporate accounts?

Accepted Answer

In the vast majority of cases, they cannot be directly accounted. B2B foreign trade collection accounts have strict anti-money laundering regulations, requiring "public to public" transactions. If the buyer uses a personal account to pay, it will be intercepted by the wind control system. Solution: Require the buyer to use the corporate account to remit money again, or submit an additional statement to the collection platform to prove that the individual is the actual controller or authorized payer of the purchasing enterprise, which may be recorded after strict examination.

Question 4

What is the difference between a local USD collection account and a global TT wire transfer account?

Accepted Answer

Local accounts are much better than global TT wire transfer accounts in terms of speed and fees. Global TT wire transfers need to be transferred through the SWIFT network, which takes 3-5 days and generates a high handling fee per transaction. Local accounts rely on the local clearing system of the paying country (such as ACH in the United States) to realize the local transfer of funds, usually the fastest day or even real-time to the account, and can avoid intermediate bank fees, greatly enhance the buyer's payment experience.

Question 5

What are the key metrics for evaluating the quality of a foreign trade payment platform?

Accepted Answer

The third is the hidden cost. Apart from the exchange rate difference, whether to charge a recording fee, a management fee or a withdrawal fee. Considering these three points comprehensively, we can avoid the inferior platform of "low-cost customers and high-cost customers v. cards.
