Documentary Letters of Credit Services:

What it is: A letter of credit is a guarantee issued by a bank on behalf of the buyer to the seller, promising to pay a specified amount upon presentation of required documents proving that goods were shipped and meet the terms of the agreement. Trade Finance & Accounting Services assists clients in establishing and utilizing documentary

letters of credit (LCs) for secure trade transactions.

​

How it works: For importers, the company collaborates with the issuing bank to set up LCs that

guarantee payment to exporters upon presentation of compliant shipping documents. For exporters, the

company reviews and ensures the LC terms align with their shipment and payment expectations. For the

banks, the company will issue or advise the LC according to the rules and regulations.

 

The problem it solves: Importers gain confidence in making payments as they are only made when the

agreed-upon conditions are met, thus reducing the risk of non-compliance or non-delivery. Exporters

enjoy the assurance of payment upon fulfilling the agreed terms, mitigating the risk of non-payment.

The banks can add a new product to their services by outsourcing the trade business to our company

and making money as a financial intermediary.

Documentary Collections Services:

What it is: This involves the exchange of trade-related documents (such as invoices, bills of lading, and certificates of origin) through banks to ensure payment once conditions are met. Trade Finance & Accounting Services facilitates secure international trade transactions using documentary collections.

​

How it works: The company assists in exchanging trade-related documents between banks to ensure

payment is made once the conditions are met. For importers, payment is made only when they receive

the necessary documents from the exporter.

​

The problem it solves: Importers reduce the risk of making advance payments without receiving the

goods, as payment is triggered by the successful presentation of documents. Exporters are assured of

payment upon meeting the agreed-upon terms.

Bank Guarantees Services:

What it is: A bank guarantee ensures that a seller will receive payment if the buyer fails to fulfill contractual obligations. It can also serve as a performance bond or advance payment guarantee. Trade Finance & Accounting Services assists the banks in issuing and advising of bank guarantee services to enhance trade security for all parties.

​

How it works: For exporters, the bank issues bank guarantees with the support of the company to

reassure buyers that payment will be made upon the successful completion of the transaction. For

importers, the company assists in obtaining bank guarantees as a promise of performance or payment

from the supplier.

​

The problem it solves: Exporters gain assurance that they will be paid once the terms are fulfilled,

reducing the risk of non-payment. Importers can be confident that suppliers will fulfill their contractual

obligations, mitigating the risk of supplier default.
