Security Alert: Change of Bank Details

ChinAfrika Logistics will NEVER notify you of a change in bank account details via email. If you receive an email claiming our banking details have changed, treat it as a phishing attempt. Only use the coordinates displayed within the secured myCall user dashboard.

i How Payments Work (Offline Verification)

Before we release your Original Bill of Lading or authorize a Telex Release, all outstanding freight charges must be settled and verified by our auditing desk.

Step 1: The Bank Transfer

Generate your invoice, retrieve the assigned banking details, and initiate a standard bank transfer.

✓ Wire transfers in USD, CNY, or EUR
✓ Must quote the designated Invoice Number
✓ Specify "OUR" charges for transfer fees

Step 2: Proof Submission

Upload a scan of your transaction receipt. Our desk evaluates and confirms the transfer within 24 hours.

• Audit Desk completes validation
• Saves days compared to clearing wait times
• Instantly triggers B/L release flags

Every booking you make generates a pro-forma or final invoice automatically. You can access all your financial documents in one place.
