What Is RMB Settlement?
Foreign exchange settlement is the process of converting foreign currency into local currency and transferring the converted funds to the designated recipient account. This service is commonly used by businesses and individuals involved in international trade who need to receive payments in one currency and settle funds in another.
For eligible transactions, Katchy can assist customers by handling the foreign exchange settlement process on their behalf. Katchy will coordinate with its banking and settlement partners, submit the required foreign exchange settlement application, and transfer the converted RMB funds directly to the designated bank account in mainland China.
This means customers do not need to communicate directly with the bank or submit additional foreign exchange settlement documents during the settlement process. Katchy manages the operational procedures required to complete the transaction efficiently and compliantly.
