Direct collection

• Exporter sends the documents directly to the collecting bank

• Collecting bank must handle the collection as if received by the remitting bank.

• Exporter delivers the details on-line to the remitting bank

• All follow up the same between the remitting bank and the collecting bank.

But what if the buyer does not pay????

• The documents remain under the disposal of the seller

• The collecting bank will report non-payment to the remitting bank and will require new instructions

Options:

• Buyer and seller come to an agreement as yet

• Seller will look for a new buyer in the region

• Seller instructs his freight forwarder to return the goods

So:

Documentary collection is a solution to be used for existing clients which you trust well enough, based on previous business or track record, but not enough to deliver them in open account (yet).

Bill of Exchange

Bill of Exchange:

A bill of exchange is a written, unconditional instruction topay a specific amount of money on a specific date to the

order of a specific party or to his order.

So consider using documentary collections:

• for existing customers in which you have a certain trust

• in case of sufficient transit time to settle before arrival of the goods

• in combination with sea freight
