In the agency export foreign exchange earnings, generally there are two ways of receiving payments. One is that the consignor directly receives the payment, and the foreign customers transfer the funds directly to the consignor's foreign exchange account. In this way, the consignor has direct control over the funds but needs to possess a perfect ability of foreign exchange management and settlement. The other is to receive the payment through the agent. After receiving the foreign exchange, the agent deducts relevant agency fees and other expenses and then pays the remaining amount to the consignor.
Choosing the agent to receive the payment, the agent is highly professional and can handle complex foreign exchange business, but attention should be paid to selecting an agent with good qualifications and high credibility to avoid risks such as the agent misappropriating the funds. The payment receiving process usually involves the bank notifying the receiving party after the foreign customers make the payment, and the receiving party conducts declaration, settlement and other operations according to the regulations. No matter which way it is, key terms such as the payment receiving method and fee settlement should be clearly defined in the agency agreement to protect the rights and interests of both parties.
