Yuan goes straight to factory and aggregator accounts at mainland banks — for the recipient it is an ordinary domestic payment, no intermediaries, no double conversion.
We pay yuan to local Chinese bank accounts. The supplier sees a normal domestic transfer and ships the day it lands.
Contract factories, 1688 agents, cargo consolidators — each format has a working route and the right wording in documents.
We vet the recipient before sending, so the Chinese bank does not bounce the payment and freeze your money for a week.
Possible, but a bad idea: it is a grey scheme with no documents to account for later. We will offer the supplier a proper corporate-account option — usually settled on their side within a day.
We provide a short letter in Chinese and English: who the payer is, on what legal basis, and which documents the factory receives. For Chinese suppliers agency payments have long been standard.
Almost always yuan: the rate is more transparent and suppliers often give a discount for CNY. Keep dollars for contracts where the price is hard-fixed in USD.
Send us an invoice or describe the task — within an hour you will have the rate, the fee and the timeline.
