1. Telegraphic Transfer (T/T)

Telegraphic Transfer is one of the most common ways to receive foreign exchange payments in foreign trade. It refers to international fund transfers through banks. The buyer remits the money to the bank account designated by the seller, and the seller can arrange shipment after receiving the remittance. It is fast, usually arriving in 1-3 working days.

2. Letter of Credit (L/C)

A letter of credit is a payment commitment issued by a bank to ensure that the buyer pays the purchase price in accordance with the contract. After the seller meets the terms of the letter of credit, he submits the relevant documents to the buyer’s bank, and the bank then pays the seller. Ensure the seller’s payment security and reduce transaction risks.

3. Collection (D/P or D/A, Documents against Payment / Documents against Acceptance)

Collection is a collection method handled by a bank. The seller submits the shipping documents of the goods to the bank, and the bank hands them over to the buyer after the buyer pays (D/P) or promises to pay (D/A). There are two types of this method:
• Documents against Payment (D/P): The buyer must pay before getting the documents and picking up the goods.
• Documents against Acceptance (D/A): The buyer promises to pay within a certain period, and the bank delivers the documents after the buyer promises.

4. PayPal, WestUnion or other electronic payment methods

In some smaller foreign trade transactions, the seller can also use electronic payment platforms such as PayPal and Stripe to collect payments. These platforms are usually suitable for transactions of smaller amounts. The transaction is fast and the operation is convenient.

5. Draft

A draft is a payment instruction issued by the seller, requiring the buyer to pay a certain amount of money at a specified time. The draft is usually issued by the seller’s bank. The seller can apply to the bank to collect the payment or transfer the draft to other banks.
