WorldFirst

Most buyers come to China to negotiate.

They grind on unit prices, MOQ, sample fees. Then they pay through a traditional bank that takes 2 to 5% on every transfer.

Who's the real winner of the deal? Often the bank.

Fix your payment setup before your next negotiation. WorldFirst transfers are a fraction of what banks charge, and they're same-day to the supplier.

If you are paying a sourcing agent to handle 1688, you are paying 3-5% for nothing.

Agents exist because 1688 only accepts yuan and most foreign buyers don't have a Chinese bank account.

WorldFirst removed the need. 1688 made us their official global payment partner. You pay in your currency. The supplier gets yuan. Same trade, no third party.
