What Documents Are Needed for RMB Exchange? Can a Deposit (Before Shipment) Be Exchanged for RMB?

Yes. Katchy 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.

Katchy 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, Katchy 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.
