A domestic bank card to solve the big problem of cross-border repayment
If you don't have much knowledge and experience with cross-border payments, or if you are a cross-border seller with limited operating resources and want to be able to complete overseas income payments in a simple and secure way, then Amazon Global Payments is definitely your “best choice”!
1. First, there is no need to register an overseas virtual account to use Amazon Global Payments. You can directly receive overseas revenue from the top ten global sites** with just one domestic bank card. There is no need to authorize transaction information, which not only reduces the difficulty of managing overseas funds, but also avoids the risk of personal information leakage. It can be described as “two wins in one stroke”!
**Currently, Amazon's global payments have covered the top ten global sites, including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Spain, Italy, France, Japan, the Netherlands, Germany, and Mexico.
2. Second, from receiving a payment from a consumer to arriving at a domestic bank account, Amazon Global Payments will ensure that the payment service provider's account in an overseas bank is “dedicated to a special account”, does not involve your overseas income in other businesses, and is not interfered with by other risk factors.
3. Third, using global payments, you can not only ensure timely payment through automatic foreign exchange transfers, so that capital turnover is orderly and controllable, but also track payment progress in real time through the seller platform, ensuring that “every transaction is traceable”.
4. Finally, Amazon's reserve bank accounts for global payments are regulated by the People's Bank of China and the Foreign Exchange Administration, which can effectively guarantee the safety of Chinese sellers' funds. Furthermore, there are sufficient reserves of reserve funds, reducing the occurrence of delays in disbursements.
