On December 13, the "Wall Street CN · 2017 Financial Leaders Selection" event was held in Shanghai, where KVB Kunlun International (hereinafter referred to as KVB) was honored with the "Corporate Foreign Exchange Management Institution of the Year" award!

Currently, Kunlun International is the only listed forex stock in the Greater China region and the only Chinese-funded non-bank financial institution globally to be listed with foreign exchange as its core business. Against a backdrop of increasingly stringent regulation, Kunlun International's achievements reflect, to a certain extent, the "professional and standardized" development direction of the foreign exchange market, as well as the necessity of foreign exchange management for corporate development—particularly during the process of enterprises "going global."

Anticipating Rigid Demand: The Soft Power of Corporate Foreign Exchange Management

With the development of China's economy and the increasingly frequent and in-depth exchanges with overseas economies, the number of Chinese enterprises engaged in cross-border business has risen sharply, with cross-border e-commerce enterprises in particular experiencing rapid growth. Foreign exchange fluctuations pose challenges for enterprises in areas such as cross-border settlement, payment, and fund management. How to hedge risks and reduce cross-border settlement costs is gradually becoming a specialized field within corporate management.

Kunlun International was the first in the industry to introduce the concept of "the soft power of corporate foreign exchange management," and is committed to providing clients with comprehensive corporate foreign exchange solutions that improve capital turnover efficiency and reduce financial settlement costs. Thanks to its forward-looking development strategy, Kunlun International has now established partnerships with more than several thousand import and export enterprises worldwide. Its business covers international settlement and global payment, corporate foreign exchange management, forex risk aversion and hedging consultation, cross-border e-commerce forex solutions, as well as offshore RMB and derivatives, including spot settlement and payment services in over ten major global currencies. With one-stop settlement solutions offering same-day (T+0) crediting at the fastest, it helps Chinese enterprises reach further in overseas markets.

Standardization of the Foreign Exchange Market: Regulation and Licenses

The foreign exchange market is a stage for financial leverage. To ensure the security of investments, the regulatory status of a trading platform is of paramount concern to investors. Kunlun International's authority lies in holding foreign exchange regulatory licenses from multiple countries and nearly 17 years of industry experience. It is one of the few non-bank financial institutions in the industry to achieve multi-country and multi-license operations, regional listing, and multi-dimensional local regulation of its products and services.

A forward-looking strategic vision is the key to Kunlun International's ability to be an "industry pioneer," and the same holds true in the field of foreign exchange trading. On a micro level, when the market is captivated by the high returns of a certain product, Kunlun International has already begun to "prepare for risk"; on a macro level, Kunlun International, through its accurate anticipation of the "internationalization of the RMB" and the "vigorous development of China's offshore financial market," has achieved steady and rapid business growth. The forward-looking nature of Kunlun International's development strategy is also reflected in its investment in financial technology. As early as 2011, it was the first to put into operation a self-developed foreign exchange trading and settlement platform, which, through the widespread adoption of client terminals, enabled clients to independently monitor and operate, greatly enhancing the efficiency of market interaction and the speed of transaction processing.

Now, in line with the trade and foreign exchange management needs of the "Belt and Road" Initiative, Kunlun International has proposed a strategic plan for a 24-hour global financial pathway. It will continue to develop its trading network and capabilities, launch broader trading and settlement models, and extend its payment network to more countries and regions, opening up a 24/7 global financial pathway for cross-border import and export enterprises—from Oceania to Asia, from Asia to Europe, and from Europe to the Americas!
