These include pre-export finance and import finance loans which are available to both importers and exporters on a short to long term basis.
This facilitates importation of raw materials under letters of credit and guarantees. It enables the customer to increase his business value, efficiency and productivity.
This is best suited for importers who are experiencing a mismatch between payment for imports and the receivables. After goods have been shipped to the importer, the bank pays the shipper on behalf of the customer and books a short term facility to be paid off with the receivables once the goods have been sold.
With Bill Discounting, we provide exporters with an advance to ensure they remain liquid as they continue with their business.
This is where the bank confirms that the customer will honor a certain future payment by signing on a bill of exchange on behalf of its customer.
