Question 1

On the whole, localized cross-border collection platforms such as XTransfer performed best.

Question 2

How should foreign trade enterprises comply with the buyer's request for a third party to pay US dollars?

Accepted Answer

Third-party payment can easily trigger anti-money laundering wind control and must be handled with caution. The first step is to require the buyer to issue a "payment agreement" stamped with the official seal to clarify the tripartite relationship and the reasons for payment. The second step is to review the country and source of funds of the paying party, and resolutely reject funds from sanctioned countries or high-risk regions. The third step is to upload the payment agreement together with PI and logistics documents when the collection platform submits the application for foreign exchange settlement, and cooperate with compliance review to ensure the safe entry of funds.

Question 3

How should independent B2B large wholesale orders choose the US dollar collection channel?

Accepted Answer

Independent B2B large orders are not suitable for common B2C channels such as credit cards, because of the high handling fees and the risk of long-term refusal by buyers.

This approach is not only a single fee fixed or free, but also completely eliminate the risk of malicious refund. Enterprises only need to prepare the relevant trade documents, you can declare the settlement of foreign exchange in compliance, to ensure the safety of large funds into the bag.
