Why African Importers Struggle to Pay China

You're not alone. These are the exact frustrations our clients faced before switching to KeyBS.

My bank won't process payments to China — they're flagging it or rejecting outright

My Chinese supplier only accepts CNY/RMB — but I only have USD, GHS, or NGN

I got scammed before — sent money and the "supplier" disappeared

SWIFT transfers to China take 5–10 days and cost $45–$80 per transaction

I found a great product on 1688 or DHgate but they don't accept my payment method

I need someone in China who can verify the factory before I send money

All of these are problems we solve — every single day.

What's Included

Everything You Need to Import from China

Not just a payment service — a complete import support toolkit for Africa-China trade.

CNY / RMB Direct Payments

We pay your Chinese suppliers directly in Chinese Yuan (RMB) — the currency they want. You send USD, GBP, USDT, NGN, or GHS. We handle the conversion and domestic transfer in China.

Escrow-Protected Releases

Your payment is held in escrow until the supplier provides a valid Bill of Lading or confirmed shipment. Zero risk of paying and getting nothing.

Supplier Verification First

Before we process any payment, we verify your supplier's Chinese business licence (营业执照), Alibaba/1688 rating, and trading history. We flag red flags — you decide.

24-Hour Settlement

Once your funds are cleared and the supplier is verified, we complete the CNY payment within 24 business hours. Your supplier gets paid fast — orders start moving.

Full Documentation

Receive a Chinese payment receipt, supplier acknowledgement, and a full transaction record for your import customs filing. Every payment is documented and compliant.

Quality Inspection Coordination

Add a pre-shipment inspection to any order. We coordinate with vetted China-based inspection agents (electronics, textiles, machinery, consumer goods) before goods leave the factory.

Multi-Platform Support

Works with all major China trade platforms: Alibaba, 1688.com, DHgate, Made-in-China, Global Sources, Canton Fair orders, and direct factory deals.

Bulk Order Management

Managing 3, 5, or 10 suppliers at once? Our dashboard lets you track all payments, shipments, and documents from one place. Built for serious importers.
