Export documentary credit

Guarantee your sales and facilitate their financing

The documentary credit allows the vendor access to an assurance of payment prior to the dispatch of the goods, and, even prior to the start of their manufacture. In turn, the buyer will have the security that his payment obligation will only be realised when the vendor has presented sufficient accrediting documentation regarding the dispatch of the desired goods. The credit is, therefore, a guarantee for both parties.
