Documentary Collections
Using our secure communication technology and capabilities, we’ll release documents on your behalf to your buyers only when payment is received or a binding promise to pay is made, giving you more control over your documents.
Standby Letters of Credit
If a buyer is unable to pay, we can ensure payment through standby letters of credit. We’ll help guide you when standby letters of credit are in your best interest.
Letters of Credit
When letters of credit come from a foreign bank, we can act as your agent, advising, confirming and negotiating on your behalf to obtain optimal terms and protect against order cancelation.
