Question 2

How can foreign trade beginners avoid having their collection accounts frozen by the bank?

Accepted Answer

The core of avoiding the freeze is to ensure the authenticity of trade and the clean source of funds. First, strictly implement customer due diligence and refuse to accept payments from non-trade related parties or high-risk sensitive areas; secondly, each receipt must be supported by a corresponding real trade contract, commercial invoice and logistics customs declaration document; finally, do not frequently carry out large-value fast-forward and fast-out operations without reasonable background. Actively cooperate with the review to ensure account stability.

Question 3

What is the most cost-effective collection for foreign trade sample lists and small B2B orders?

Accepted Answer

Sample orders and small B2B orders are recommended to use local collection accounts that support local clearing networks. If you use traditional international wire transfer (SWIFT), intermediate bank fees are often as high as tens of dollars, which is extremely uneconomical for small amounts. By opening a local account in the buyer's country, buyers can use local currency to transfer money directly, usually to achieve zero or very low fees, not only greatly reduce the cost of buyers and sellers, but also to achieve rapid payment.

Question 4

What is the difference between a local receiving account and a SWIFT international wire transfer account?

Accepted Answer

The local collection account uses the local clearing system of the buyer's country to transfer money without going through an intermediate bank, and has the characteristics of extremely fast receipt, low or even free handling fees, and good buyer payment experience. SWIFT international wire transfer accounts, on the other hand, flow through the global interbank network, supporting most countries around the world to make payments, but it takes 1 to 5 working days to arrive and will incur intermediate bank charges. It is recommended to give priority to local accounts when the buyer is located in a local network.

Applying for a foreign trade account free of account opening fees is a very reliable and mainstream choice, provided that you must choose a formal platform that is strictly regulated. At present, the competition in the industry is fierce, and the head institutions have generally canceled the account opening fee and annual fee, and realized profits through reasonable settlement spreads. Avoiding the pit suggestion: don't just focus on free, be sure to focus on checking whether the institution has domestic and foreign payment license, whether to support the sunshine settlement and whether the wind control system is perfect.
