Textile importer in Argentina managed to pay China without using a bank

The problem

Do your international payments take days to arrive?

Is your supplier in Asia pressuring you because the money is not credited?

This happened to Mariana.

She has a textile business in Villa Crespo.

She imports fabrics and clothing from China and Korea.

Her payments took up to 4 days. Sometimes the bank rejected the payment.

Her orders got stalled. She was losing time and money.

📉 The 3 most common pain points for textile importers

  • The bank puts obstacles to send dollars.

  • The exchange rate is high and constantly changing.

  • Transfers are slow or do not arrive.
