With an import collection, your supplier gets their bank to send us documents proving that they’ve shipped the goods you’ve ordered and asks us to collect payment on their behalf.
Your supplier can be more confident that you'll pay for what you've ordered.
You have the security of knowing the goods you’ve ordered are on their way to the correct port.
Lower cost than an import letter of credit.
A safer alternative to pre-payments.
We get your supplier to send us documents proving that they’ve shipped the goods. When we get these documents, we’ll get in touch with you and let you know your goods are on their way.
We’ll release the supplier’s shipping documents to you when we receive your payment for the goods. This will either be “at sight” which is immediately, or “term” which is when you’ve agreed to pay us on a set date in the future.
Costs will vary, so please talk to our business banking team for pricing information.
