Regional Businesses Seek Infrastructure Partners for International Trade

As regional businesses continue to expand their international trade, they are no longer content with simple translation services. Instead, they require a reliable infrastructure partner to facilitate global payments and navigate complex market nuances. According to Stanislav Lazarev, Deputy General Director of A7, the demand for such services is on the rise, driven by the need for regular payments and established trade relationships. A7 has responded by establishing a Far Eastern settlement center in Vladivostok, which operates in the Asian-Pacific time zone, allowing clients to process payments with Asian partners without delays. The company's client base in the region includes importers of equipment and consumer goods, who work directly with Asian manufacturers. In Tatarstan, chemical and engineering companies, as well as trading firms, are driving the demand for international payments, with many operating in multiple markets, including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Iran. Similarly, businesses in the southern region are actively trading with Turkey, while those in the Sverdlovsk region are importing equipment from China and exporting metal products to foreign markets. A7 has observed a significant increase in professionalism among regional businesses, with companies diversifying their payment currencies, planning liquidity, and using multiple payment routes depending on the country and transaction conditions.
