International Bank Transfer to China
Our main method of payment is to our China-based business account. Customers are expected to pay the bank transfer fees. Usually, your bank will inform you of the cost and you will pay up front. In some cases, however, banks do not have direct connections and may need to use an intermediary bank which may also take a fee of between 10-15 Euro, without prior announcement. In such cases, this fee will be considered the customer’s responsibility. All payments are settled in Euro.
Domestic Bank Transfer to China
Direct deposit fees within China are minimal and should cost you no more than 50 RMB with no extra charges other than those stated by the bank you deposit with. For those paying in RMB Visit North Korea Group LTD charge an additional one-off handling fee of 50 RMB to cover currency exchange expenses (all of our bills are settled in Euro). We can also accept payments via Alipay service.
PayPal
PayPal payments to China require us to receive in USD ONLY and also charges a 3.75% receiver’s fee for merchant accounts which the customer is required to pay. Exchange rates must be calculated at the Bank of China selling daily rates.
UK Bank Transfer
For those transferring to the UK/EU, we offer the possibility of sending to our UK bank account in Pounds Sterling at a rate pre-arranged with Visit North Korea Group LTD.
