XTransfer And Banking Circle Announce Strategic Partnership

XTransfer, a Chinese B2B cross-border trade payment platform, and Banking Circle, a tech-driven payments bank, have formed a strategic partnership to reduce the cost and processing time of cross-border payments for XTransfer’s clients, benefiting Chinese suppliers with significant markets in Europe and the Middle East.

The partnership aims to minimise costs associated with global trade payments. XTransfer provides SMEs with secure, compliant, cost-effective cross-border payment and fund collection solutions. Banking Circle offers a comprehensive local clearing network for major currencies and a robust FX engine supporting 24 currencies, ensuring quick, low-cost payments without hidden fees.

Integrating the infrastructure of Banking Circle, XTransfer will offer a broader array of local payment and fund collection options. Clients can receive payments in major currencies like the US Dollar, Euro, GBP, and Danish Krone, as well as six additional currencies in Europe and the Middle East. Plans include introducing more currency options.

This development benefits businesses dealing with Chinese suppliers, allowing buyers in Europe and the Middle East to pay in a wider range of local currencies.
