Our Unique Edge: Easy Payment Schemes Through Our Company
Thanks to our deep network of verified agents and partners across the globe, we've designed and successfully put into action schemes that dramatically simplify international transactions for our clients:
1. For Import Cargo (Pay in Rubles):
How it Works: You pay the contract amount in rubles to our account in Russia. We then use our foreign connections and established channels to complete the payment to your overseas supplier in the required currency.
Your Benefits:
Convenience: No need for foreign currency accounts or the hassle of complex currency control to pay a foreign vendor.
Risk Offload: We take on all the risks associated with the payment moving through the international banking system.
Simple Accounting: You work with us under a ruble contract, making accounting and tax reporting straightforward.
2. For Export Cargo (Get Paid in Foreign Currency):
How it Works: Your overseas buyer pays the contract amount in foreign currency into the account of our foreign partner. Once the funds arrive, we convert them and transfer the money to your account in Russia in rubles or, by agreement, in another available currency.
Your Benefits:
Guaranteed Funds: We ensure reliable receipt of foreign currency revenue from your international customer.
Bypass Restrictions: This allows you to work with buyers in countries where direct transfers to Russia are currently difficult.
Faster Cash Flow: Accelerate the process of receiving your export revenue.
