Which bank is better for receiving payments in entrepot trade?
Our company mainly engages in entrepot trade and is currently facing some troubles in receiving payments. When the previously cooperating bank was handling the payment receiving business for entrepot trade, the process was cumbersome, the arrival time of funds was long, and various complex documents were often required. So I'd like to ask everyone, which bank is more convenient, efficient and also does a better job in terms of risk control and other aspects for receiving payments in entrepot trade? I hope friends with experience can share relevant information.
