What Documents Are Needed for Foreign Exchange Settlement? Can a Deposit (Before Shipment) Be Settled?

Yes. PayAny supports RMB settlement for eligible trade transactions, including situations where a buyer needs to make a deposit payment before goods are shipped. This allows businesses to pay suppliers in China more efficiently without waiting for the shipment process to be completed.

PayAny can assist with the foreign exchange settlement process and transfer RMB directly to eligible recipient accounts in mainland China, subject to compliance review and transaction verification.

Can a Deposit Before Shipment Be Settled in RMB?

Yes. Pre-shipment deposits may be eligible for RMB settlement if the transaction has a legitimate trade purpose and sufficient supporting documentation can be provided.

As part of the review process, PayAny may request information that demonstrates the existence of a genuine commercial transaction between the buyer and supplier. The exact requirements may vary depending on the transaction amount, payment structure, supplier profile, and applicable compliance requirements.

To initiate an RMB settlement request, customers are generally required to provide the following information:

• Supplier's English company name
• Product information
• Product or store URL
• Trade order details
• Payment purpose

In addition, customers may be asked to provide supporting documentation relating to the underlying trade transaction.
