1) Introduction：
Taking advantage of the inter-bank transfer and clearing network, the bank forwards, at the entrustment of the remitter, money to the beneficiary with appropriate payment certificates.
The remittance may be divided into inward remittance and outward remittance in terms of the direction of funds movement, or telegraphic transfer (T/T), mail transfer (M/T) and demand draft (D/D) in terms of the remitting manner.
