Pay Chinese suppliers (and manufacturers)
To pay Chinese suppliers, businesses paying into China seek swiftness, simplicity, and affordability, as businesses frequently encounter various obstacles. The obstacles come in the form of rigorous declaration procedures, currency restrictions, regulatory compliance, foreign exchange uncertainties, exorbitant fees, and language barriers during administrative tasks.
Fortunately, SUNRATE's comprehensive capabilities and strong banking network enable businesses to make payments to their Chinese suppliers seamlessly.
Differentiating between CNH and CNY
The distinction between CNY and CNH arose due to the Chinese government's efforts to internationalise its currency and facilitate cross-border trade and investment. The introduction of CNH allows for greater flexibility and accessibility in trading the RMB internationally, enabling businesses and investors to engage in offshore RMB transactions without the same level of regulatory restrictions imposed on onshore transactions in CNY.
CNY = onshore RMB which circulates ONLY within Mainland China
CNH = offshore RMB that circulates OUTSIDE of Mainland China
