An exporter client approached us needing to receive payment for a crab shipment.
The cargo was being shipped from a third country to South Korea, while a Russian company was listed as the legal supplier under the contract.
• JCB is under sanctions in Russia
• A direct money transfer is impossible
• Georgian banks do not accept payments from countries where JCB has no official representation
The client approached 30 payment agents — none of them were able to process the transaction.
