Why importers use Malipay
Built for one job: getting your supplier paid in RMB, safely and on time.
Fast RMB supplier payments
Send money to your Chinese supplier within 5 minutes.
Reduced risk of account freezing
Malipay helps you submit properly documented RMB payment requests, reducing the risk of delays, account freezes, or payment holds caused by unclear transaction details.
Clear exchange estimate
Calculate the estimated KES, UGX, or TZS amount needed to pay your supplier in RMB before submitting your request.
Secured payment review
Supplier details, invoices, and beneficiary information are checked before the payment moves forward.
Track every request
Know whether your request is received, under review, processing, completed, or requires more information.
Built for China trade
Malipay is focused on supplier, factory, sourcing-agent, consolidator, and importer payments — not generic remittance.
“Is my money actually safe?”
The biggest risk in China trade isn’t the transfer — it’s a fake supplier, switched bank details, or losing recourse when something goes wrong. Here’s how Malipay reduces each one.
What if the supplier is fake or the bank details are switched?
Before payout we review your invoice and verify the beneficiary against the documents you upload. A real person in Nairobi checks it — never a blind automated transfer.
What if I send money and it just disappears?
You get a customer-visible status timeline on every request — submitted, reviewed, processing, paid out — so you always know where your payment is.
What happens if the payment can’t be completed?
Funds are returned to you — and Malipay never holds your money; a licensed partner executes settlement.
Verify supplier
We verify your supplier and beneficiary details.
Pay in RMB
We pay your supplier in RMB safely and securely.
Track to payout
Track every step until your payment is completed.
How your money is handled
Our regulatory posture is a feature, not fine print.
We don’t hold your funds
Malipay facilitates and documents your request. A licensed payment partner executes the settlement to China.
Beneficiary verified
Before any payout we check the supplier's receiving details against your invoice — bank account name and number (with your ID), or your supplier's Alipay/WeChat QR.
Document-backed
Every payment is tied to your invoice and supporting documents, stored against the request.
Clear recourse
If a payment can’t be completed, your funds are refunded — Malipay never holds your money.
From estimate to payout — you see every step
The tracked status timeline is what sets Malipay apart from a bank wire or an OTC dealer.

Importers across East Africa, paying suppliers in China
Real importers, from Nairobi to Kampala to Dar es Salaam, paying factories, agents and 1688 suppliers in RMB — documented, verified, and tracked end to end.
- Kenya → Shenzhen★★★★★
“I paid my Shenzhen supplier the same week. The documents were checked first, and I could follow every step until the money landed.”
- Before
- His bank routed everything through US dollars — three to four days, an exchange rate he could never see, and one payment held for weeks over an unclear “purpose of payment”.
- With Malipay
- Now he pays in RMB at the rate shown up front, the beneficiary is checked against his invoice, and payout lands within minutes of review.

Reassure your supplier in China
Trust in this corridor goes both ways. Your supplier wants to know they’ll be paid properly — so here’s exactly how it works for them, and a short message you can forward.
Paid in RMB, directly
Your supplier receives renminbi to the account on their invoice — Chinese bank, Alipay, WeChat Pay or UnionPay.
To the right account
The beneficiary is checked against the invoice before any money moves, so funds reach the correct account.
Nothing for them to do
Your supplier doesn’t sign up, install anything, or pay a fee. They’re paid the way they already expect.
Confirmation as usual
Once your request is reviewed, the payment is sent — usually within minutes — and your supplier gets their normal proof of receipt.
