Our Offering

Our comprehensive range of Trade and Trade Finance products include:

  • General Short Term Banking Facilities (GSTBF): Assist you, our client, to access funding for the procurement of raw materials for processing into goods or finished goods for resale. The facilities come in the form of Overdraft (OD) and/or Short Term Loan (STL).
  • Trade Finance Open Account & Supply Chain: Buyers and Sellers often trade on Open Account terms (OA). Effective and flexible cash flows are essential to the success of your company when trading. Our solutions provide working capital to enable productivity and liquidity and drive profitability.
  • Documentary Trade Finance: Our Letters of Credit (LCs) mitigate payment and performance risks and provide working capital solutions.  Then there is a guarantee that is a written undertaking issued by a bank in favour of the receiver of the goods or services, by which the bank undertakes to make certain payments on behalf of its client, if the latter fails to make a payment or to carry out specific functions in terms of the commercial contract. With Documentary Collections, we protect buyers and sellers in international trade transactions thus giving assurance to honour payments to both parties in a transaction. 
International payments: Transfer electronic funds safely and reliably with outward and inward telegraphic transfers that remit between banks through SWIFT, which offers a range of built-in security features, making it a safe and reliable method of transferring.
