Please ensure that your guarantor card has sufficient funds available on the payment date, and that the issuing bank supports this transaction.

2. Bank wire transfer: If your guarantor card cannot be used for rent payment, please arrange a bank transfer in advance. Before making the payment, communicate with your bank to confirm what materials you need to bring for the wire transfer, and make sure to have the necessary documents ready. Additionally, ask the bank to assist in calculating the associated transfer fees to ensure that the rent arrives in full. Please strictly use the bank information provided by the apartment for the payment (if you haven&#x27;t received the apartment’s bank account details via email and plan to use wire transfer for rent payment, please email the apartment in advance to obtain the official payment information), and include the appropriate reference information.
