Working with suppliers in China often sounds simple until the payment message arrives:
“Please send RMB through Alipay.” 😅
That is exactly where Extent Exchange helps verified international clients manage legitimate RMB payment and settlement requirements in China.
Selected transaction activity from 10 September 2026 reflects the types of payment channels commonly requested by Chinese suppliers, merchants, and business partners.
Depending on the recipient and transaction requirements, supported settlement options may include:
• Alipay RMB payments
• WeChat RMB payments
• Chinese bank transfers
• Bank TT
• USDT → RMB settlement
• Payments to suppliers and business partners in China
Why do Chinese suppliers ask for RMB?
Many suppliers in China prefer receiving payment through methods they already use locally. One supplier may provide Alipay details, another may prefer WeChat, while a factory or trading company may request payment directly to a Chinese bank account.
That is why there is no single payment method that fits every transaction.
What is USDT → RMB settlement?
USDT → RMB settlement refers to an eligible transaction where settlement value is provided in USDT and the recipient receives the agreed amount in Chinese yuan (RMB) through an available payment channel.
A typical structure may look like:
USDT → RMB → Alipay
USDT → RMB → WeChat
USDT → RMB → Chinese Bank Account
