XTransfer and Banking Circle Announce Strategic Partnership

Collaboration Set to Boost Payment Capabilities for Importers/Exporters in Europe and the Middle East

HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 11 June 2024 - XTransfer, the World's Leading & China's No.1 B2B Cross-Border Trade Payment Platform, and Banking Circle, the innovative tech-driven Payments Bank, have entered into a strategic partnership.

This collaboration aims to reduce the cost and processing time of cross-border payments for XTransfer's clients, particularly benefiting Chinese suppliers with significant markets in Europe and the Middle East.

Both XTransfer and Banking Circle are committed to minimising the cost associated with global trade payments. XTransfer focuses on providing SMEs with secure, compliant, fast, and cost-effective cross-border payment and fund collection solutions, thereby enhancing global competitiveness and facilitating international expansion. Banking Circle has established a comprehensive local clearing network for major currencies and an effective FX engine supporting 24 currencies, ensuring quick, low-cost payments without hidden fees.

Through the integration of Banking Circle's infrastructure, XTransfer can now offer its clients a broader array of local payment and fund collection options. Clients will be able to receive payments not only in major currencies like the US Dollar, Euro, GBP, and Danish Krone, but also in six additional currencies in Europe and the Middle East. This partnership is expected to expand further, with plans to introduce even more currency options in the near future.

This development is particularly advantageous for businesses dealing with Chinese suppliers. Buyers in Europe and the Middle East will have the convenience of paying Chinese suppliers in a wider range of local currencies.

Bill Deng, Founder and CEO of XTransfer, commented on the partnership, "Our alliance with Banking Circle represents a significant step forward in our expansion into the European and Middle Eastern markets. This partnership not only accelerates XTransfer's global ambitions but also promises to revolutionise the international trade landscape for businesses. We are eager to see the continued success of this collaboration."

Laust Bertelsen, Co-Founder and CEO of Banking Circle added, "We are thrilled to support XTransfer's vision for global trade. By leveraging Banking Circle's accounts and payment rails, XTransfer can streamline the payment process for its clients, reducing both costs and transaction times."
