As cross-border trade between Brazil and China continues to grow, reliable and compliant financial infrastructure has become essential for the businesses facilitating that commerce.

To meet that need, Caliza and LianLian Global have partnered to enable a compliant, tax-efficient payment rail connecting Brazilian corporates and Chinese merchants through established fiat channels.

Building Infrastructure for Real-World Trade

LianLian Global, a China-based publicly listed payments company serving millions of e-commerce merchants, provides settlement and collection solutions for exporters operating across global marketplaces. Caliza, a regulated fintech specializing in global cross-border treasury infrastructure, delivers the licensed connectivity required to move funds securely and transparently.

Together, the two companies have built a corridor that allows Brazilian corporates to remit funds to China using PIX and multiple USD payment rails — simplifying what has historically been a fragmented and high-cost process.

How the Flow Works

Through this integration, Brazilian entities can initiate payments locally in BRL using PIX. Caliza handles the compliant conversion and outbound transfer via Caliza payment rails to Lian Lian Global, in turn supporting Lian Lians internal treasury flows. All of which is in service of supporting Lian Lian’s Chinese exporters.

The result is a faster, fully regulated settlement channel that aligns with both Brazilian and Chinese cross-border requirements — without adding complexity for the underlying businesses.

A Real-World Example

Consider a Chinese exporter seller that exports consumer goods to Brazil through online distributors. Under the new setup, the Brazilian buyer pays in local currency. Caliza’s infrastructure processes the repatriation of funds within Brazil, converts it to USD, and settles to LianLian Global. LianLian Global then distributes funds to the exporter’s Chinese account.

Each leg of the transaction remains within the licensed financial system, ensuring compliance with local FX and tax regulations.

Leadership Perspective

“Our collaboration with LianLian Global reinforces Caliza’s focus on building infrastructure for real-world commerce,” said Sam Eyob, Head of Business Development at Caliza. “By combining local expertise in Brazil with LianLian’s global reach, we’re making it easier for corporates to operate transparently across major trade corridors like Brazil and China.”

Driving Transparent Growth Between Emerging Markets

For both organizations, the partnership underscores a shared commitment to regulatory integrity and operational excellence. As Brazil deepens trade ties with Asia, transparent financial rails will play a critical role in supporting exporters, importers, and the broader e-commerce ecosystem.

By connecting two of the world’s most dynamic emerging markets, Caliza and LianLian Global are demonstrating what compliant, infrastructure-grade payments can look like in practice — built on trust, efficiency, and accountability.
