You can carry out online payments (hotel bookings, …)
To receive your card, contact your closest agency.
C. Documentary Remittance
This is a standard procedure in international trade through which a bank in the importer’s country guarantees to the supplier that it will not give the contractual documents to the buyer unless the payment (cash or with installments) is made by the latter.
D. Documentary credit
You are an importer or an exporter and you wish to choose the method of payment which will ensure optimal security for your transactions?
The documentary credit (DC or letter of credit/LC) is a generally irrevocable commitment issued by a bank at the request of the buyer to the seller for a set price and within a given period, against the presentation of materials in strict accordance with the contract. The documentary credit/letter of credit is subject to the Uniform Customs and Practice of the International Chamber of Commerce.
You therefore benefit from:
A securing of your international transactions by determining that the documents prove that your goods have been shipped which will allow you to collect them at the port.
Guaranteed payment allowing you to eventually negotiate better trading conditions
Means of payment which give you excellent risk cover.
