With more than 450,000 enterprise clients, XTransfer has become the industry leader in China. Earlier this year, the company officially launched its international service. Trading companies worldwide are now starting to use XTransfer, which helps sellers address the challenging issue of fund collection and also caters to the global buyer side. When both buyers and sellers use XTransfer accounts, they can achieve secure and compliant 24/7 payment settlement, potentially saving 95% on remittance fees and 20% on currency conversion costs. This facilitates uninterrupted fund circulation throughout the entire trade process.

"We're thrilled to have received IPA from the MAS. This approval marks a pivotal moment for us to strengthen our presence in Singapore and the region.
