Product Definition
Outbound remittance refers to a settlement method where the remitting bank, at the request of the remitter, remits a certain amount of funds to an account designated by the remitter. Remittance methods include telegraphic transfer, mail transfer, and draft transfer, with telegraphic transfer being the most commonly used method.
Product Features
Compared to letters of credit and collection methods, remittance offers more streamlined procedures and reduced costs. The faster processing of telegraphic transfers enables exporters to receive payments promptly, thereby improving capital turnover. Furthermore, the simplicity of the process makes it easier to manage.
