How is Trade Finance used?

Trade Finance focuses on you (the Buyer), being

able to pay your clients (the Sellers) anywhere in

the world for their goods or services, at the click of

a button.

A pre-agreed limit is available to you on a rolling

basis.

E.g. if you have a £250k limit, you can use this to

pay for goods/services. When you repay the sum

in up to 4 months time, you then have another

£250k to available again, automatically.

What is Trade Finance used for?

Many uses, you decide! It can be used to purchase

and good you want (or even services!)

Many Buyers for example use it to import stock,

that they will then sell on to their clients.

You the Buyer would then pay the money back

between 1 to 4 months later, often after you have

sold the goods on and been paid. So, it’s very

good for your cash-flow!
