I'm looking for advice here. I've been talking with a manufacturer through Globalsources. I was searching for them specifically because I wanted to source directly from them as I trust their product.

The sales rep requests 100% payment upfront for the first order. They want a bank wire transfer. (TT)
They are a Chinese company with HSBC bank Honk Kong.

My question is how do I verify the bank info they sent me? I don't have any reason to doubt them other than being cautious that they are who they say they are. Do I contact their bank or mine?
Thanks for any tips.
