What a business in China can use
Paystack’s products, for a company incorporated in China.
Online and in-person payment acceptance. Cards (Visa and Mastercard in all markets) plus local methods that vary by country: bank transfer, USSD, mobile money, M-PESA, EFT, QR, Apple Pay and Google Pay. Settlement is in local currency by default; Nigerian and Kenyan businesses can also accept and settle in USD.
Transfers from your Paystack balance to bank accounts in your own country, and to mobile money in Ghana and M-PESA in Kenya. Domestic only. Available to Registered businesses, not Starter businesses.
Dedicated Virtual Accounts: bank account numbers you create for your customers to pay into; payments are recorded against that customer and settle to your Paystack balance. Not a multi-currency holding account.
