Import

Letter of Credit

When buying goods from overseas suppliers, you want to receive the goods in right quantity, on time and at the designated place as per your order. You also want to make payments only after receipt of the required documents including the title of goods.

We can solve your needs by issuing a documentary credit on your behalf. A documentary credit is our Bank's guarantee of payment for a shipment of goods against specific documents as stipulated on it.

By using a Letter of Credit, we will only make payment after receipt of titles and other documents that should fully comply with the terms of the credit. You can enjoy a safer and cheaper alternative to making advance payment or deposits.

Back-To-Back Letter of Credit

If you are an intermediary and your supplier wants to sell on documentary credit term only, you may apply for the issuance of a Back-to-Back Letter of Credit from us against the export Letter of Credit.

A Back-to-Back Letter of Credit is issued against the export credit (the master credit), but the terms and conditions may not the same as the export credit. You must submit your own draft and invoice, together with the other shipping documents presented by your supplier to secure payment under the export credit. After processing, you will have the export proceeds to pay your supplier and the balance credited to your account.
