INTRODUCTION
As Trade Finance and Investment Finance Specialists we are
committed to service excellence and innovation.
Our primary objective is to expand our service offering across
the globe!
WE SPECIALISE IN:
1) Trade Finance
2) Investment Finance
IMPORTANCE OF TRADE FINANCE
• The reason Corporates have returned to documentary letters
of credit is simple: the need for certainty of payment in
volatile markets and, more importantly, an immediately
accessible source of working capital where other sources are
constrained
• Global Financial Crisis
• Banks do not have the liquidity of the past and can no longer
give credit lines to SME’s companies that import or export
ABOUT US
TRADE FINANCE
• *Definition: Trade Finance: Trade finance is related to international trade.
While a seller (the exporter) can require the purchaser (an importer) to prepay for
goods shipped, the purchaser (importer) may wish to reduce risk by requiring the
seller to document the goods that have been shipped.
Banks and Financial Intermediaries may assist by providing various forms of support.
For example: the importer's bank may provide a letter of credit to the exporter (or
the exporter's bank) providing for payment upon presentation of certain documents,
such as a bill of lading. The exporter's bank may make a loan (by advancing funds) to
the exporter on the basis of the export contract.

ISSUERS
• We have a number of Issuing Institutions registered in various
locations around the world.
• These Issuing Institutions are financial companies that are
authorized to issue financial instruments through our swift.
• We also work with a number of banks that can issue
instruments on our behalf – the fees vary depending on the
bank
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
• What is the charge for opening a letter of credit?
The letter of credit charge depends on a number of factors. Our agents can
provide you with an up to date Tariff schedule. For first time clients, fees are
quoted on a case by case basis
• What is the maximum size letter of credit that you open?
We are able to open letters of credit of almost any size. We consider the
complexity of the transaction; the goods that are being trades; and, other factors
having to do with the parties to the transactions and where they take place.
• For what type of goods do you open letter of credit?
We can open letters of credit for any type of goods provided they fall into our
ethical and legal criteria. That said, we will not get involved in transactions
involving weaponry or ammunition under any circumstances.
• I opened a letter of credit to my supplier, but he did not ship the goods. Will
you refund my fee?
Once the letter of credit is opened your fee cannot be refunded. We recommend
to all of our clients that they need to assure themselves of their suppliers' ability
to perform before opening any banking instruments to them.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
• I generally open letters of credit through my bank. How are your letters of
credit different?
The letters of credit that we open are opened using our bank accounts at prime
banking institutions. When you open the letter of credit through your bank, you
use your credit line. When you open through us, you use our credit lines.
• Why do I need to pay your fee before you open the letter of credit? Can't you
take your fee out of the profits of our transaction? We do not participate in the
transactions of our clients as a party to the transaction other than a provider of
certain financing. Therefore, we do not participate in the profits of our client's
transactions. Our fees are the same regardless of the profit margin in the
transaction.
• Can I cancel my letter of credit after it has been opened?
All of the instruments that we issue are irrevocable and cannot be canceled
except by the beneficiary.
• What type of collateral do you require to open a letter of credit?
In most cases we do not require a specific collateral deposit to open a letter of
credit. We offer transactional based finance. When a client wishes to open a
letter of credit, he presents us with the details of his transaction so that we can
make a decision about the transaction on its merit. The final decision by our
company to enter into a transaction is made according to a set of criteria
