In such kind of cases, a guarantee offered by the foreign bank which maintains long year relationship with the parent company, will be the most easy and effective way to secure their borrowing from Chinese banks. Since 1998 the State Administration for Foreign Exchange allowed Chinese banks to bear foreign contingent liability, we have already cooperated with many international banks in over hundred cases by accepting their letter of guarantee or standby letter of credit. For detailed information, please contact our bank relationship managers. Custody Accounts We offer custody account service to QFII, the foreign financial institutions who have obtained license to make their own portfolio investment on the Chinese stock market or invest on behalf of their clients. |
