Talk at XTransfer Connect

RMB payments: what opens up for business with China

How RMB payments work and what they make possible for Brazilian companies buying from Chinese suppliers.

Thiago Martello holds a degree in Business Administration with a foreign trade focus from Mackenzie, and has spent his career in the FX market — from serving traders at Tickmill to B2B at Remessa Online, from heading FX at Barsi Investimentos to the international desk at Mirae Asset.

He now works on cross-border payments at XTransfer, with a specific focus on the Brazil–China corridor: local payment rails, CNY settlement and what that actually does to an importer’s cash flow.

  • 5+ years in the FX market
  • CNY local settlement as a focus
  • Mackenzie Business Administration / Foreign Trade
More efficient routes, including local settlement in CNY, can bring more predictability, speed and competitiveness to Brazilian importers.
