There are two main types: packing credit loans for purchasing, processing, manufacturing and packing goods, and advances against pre-payment cheques or drafts received from abroad. The quantum of finance is determined based on factors like the export order, commodity, exporter's contribution, and importer/country profile.

Factoring is a financial transaction where a business sells its accounts receivable to a third party called a factor in exchange for immediate cash. This differs from a bank loan in that factoring emphasizes the receivable's value rather than the firm's creditworthiness, it is a purchase of assets rather than a loan, and involves three parties rather than two. The three parties are the seller of the receivable, the debtor, and the factor. Factoring transfers ownership of the receivables to the factor, giving them the right to collect payment from debtors and bear the risk of nonpayment.

5. 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.

having to do with the parties to the transactions and where they take place.

involving weaponry or ammunition under any circumstances.

to all of our clients that they need to assure themselves of their suppliers' ability
to perform before opening any banking instruments to them.

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

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
