Tuesday 11 June 2024 10:40 CET | News

XTransfer, a B2B cross-border trade payment platform based in Shanghai has partnered Banking Circle, a payments bank headquartered in Luxembourg.

 

The partnership intends to enhance cross-border payment capabilities for businesses, particularly focusing on Chinese suppliers with markets in Europe and the Middle East. The collaboration between XTransfer and Banking Circle is driven by a shared commitment to reducing the cost and processing time associated with global trade payments.

XTransfer specializes in providing secure, compliant, and cost-effective cross-border payment and fund collection solutions tailored for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). By leveraging Banking Circle's advanced infrastructure, which includes a comprehensive local clearing network for major currencies and an efficient foreign exchange engine supporting 24 currencies, XTransfer aims to streamline payment processes for its clients, facilitating quicker and more economical transactions without hidden fees.

One of the key advantages of this partnership is the expanded range of local payment and fund collection options available to XTransfer's clients. In addition to major currencies like the US Dollar, Euro, GBP, and Danish Krone, clients will now have access to six additional currencies in Europe and the Middle East, with plans for further expansion in the near future.

 

This broader currency coverage is particularly beneficial for businesses dealing with Chinese suppliers, as it offers buyers in Europe and the Middle East greater flexibility in paying suppliers in local currencies.
