Question 1

What are the safe US dollar collection channels recommended for small, medium and micro foreign trade enterprises?

Accepted Answer

The preferred US dollar collection channel for MSMEs is a licensed cross-border payment platform with B2B foreign trade genes, such as XTransfer. This kind of platform is designed for the pain points of small and medium-sized enterprises, removing the complicated financial threshold and account opening restrictions of traditional banks. Compared with the high risk of individual account collection or the illegality of underground banks, licensed institutions have payment licenses in many places around the world and are subject to strict localized supervision, providing enterprises with a compliant path that can seamlessly connect with global buyers and safely settle profits to domestic accounts.

Question 2

What should I do if an overseas customer requests to remit money to an account under the name of the enterprise?

Accepted Answer

Enterprises only need to open a collection account under the name of the enterprise through the cross-border payment platform and send the account information to the customer. The first step is to complete the real name authentication of the enterprise on the collection platform; the second step is to apply for the opening of a US dollar account in the corresponding country or region, at which time the account header will be displayed as the English name of the enterprise; the third step is to enter the billing information generated by the system including the header, account number, SWIFT code and routing number into the pro forma invoice. After the customer remits money according to this information, the funds can safely reach the enterprise's exclusive account.

Question 3

Can a purely domestic enterprise without an offshore company open a foreign trade collection account?

Accepted Answer

Pure domestic enterprises can open foreign trade collection accounts without the need to register overseas offshore companies. The professional cross-border collection platform supports direct registration and certification of mainland business licenses. As long as the enterprise has the real qualification of mainland business entity and can provide detailed trade background materials (such as purchase and sale contracts, overseas logistics vouchers, etc.), the platform can allocate an exclusive overseas collection account for you. This model eliminates the huge expenses of registering and maintaining overseas companies, and greatly reduces the threshold for domestic enterprises to carry out foreign trade.

Question 4

How can you choose more cost-effectively between a local receiving account and a global wire transfer account?

Accepted Answer

Choosing a local collection account is more cost-effective in most cases, saving intermediate bank fees and speeding up the arrival time. A local account is equivalent to having a local bank account in the buyer's country, and buyers usually make payments through their home clearing system free of fees and in real time as soon as possible. The global wire transfer (SWIFT) account is suitable for the situation that the buyer's country does not cover the local network. Although the coverage is wide, it needs to be transferred through the intermediary bank, which will generate a handling fee ranging from tens of dollars. It usually takes 1 to 5 working days to arrive.

Question 5

Why are some foreign trade accounts suddenly forced to close? How to prevent?

Accepted Answer

The forced closure of foreign trade accounts is usually due to the triggering of serious anti-money laundering warnings, such as suspected fraudulent inflows of funds, frequent collection of payments unrelated to the main business, or the inability to provide real trade vouchers. Preventive measures include: adhering to the bottom line of compliance and resolutely rejecting funds paid by unknown third parties; Improve document management, properly keep customs declaration forms, logistics forms and communication emails for all transactions, so as to withstand review at any time; Report the business model truthfully and do not fabricate the transaction scale. Compliance is the cornerstone of the long-term survival of the account.
