To send money to China, it is best to choose the fastest and cheapest option possible. We most recommend using Revolut or Wise. Money transfers are very fast and the fees are much lower compared to western union or paypal. Debit card payments are possible in the apps, so you can easily pay on sites such as alibaba. Setting up an account is fairly quick and verification should take around 2-3 days. To find out more about payment methods visit the manufacturers' websites.
