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

Cross-border payment risk is rarely simple. The counterparty on the other side of a transaction is not just a name and a bank account — it is a web of relationships, ownership structures, transaction histories, geographic exposures, and regulatory contexts that conventional screening tools were not designed to map.

The systems designed to make financial decisions more efficient and consistent can encode historical patterns and apply them at a scale no individual decision-maker could replicate.

Most global businesses measure their payment operations on internal efficiency metrics — processing cost per transaction, days payable outstanding, payment run cycle time.
