What Are the Bank Procedures for Exporting?

Banking procedures are critical to ensure smooth financial transactions in international trade. Key steps include:

  • Opening a Current Account: A bank account authorized to receive foreign payments is essential.

  • Letter of Credit (L/C): A bank-issued document guaranteeing payment upon meeting specified terms.

  • AD Code Registration: Required for customs clearance at the export port.

  • Wire Transfers and Currency Conversion: Managed by banks to facilitate payments in foreign currencies.

  • Export Credit Insurance: Protects against non-payment by foreign buyers, available through institutions like the Export-Import Bank (EXIM).

How Astan Services Helps: We guide you through setting up the right banking infrastructure, from opening current accounts to securing letters of credit.

What Is the Best and Most Secure Payment Method?
Choosing a secure payment method protects your business from financial risks. Common methods include:
  • Cash in Advance: The buyer pays before goods are shipped, minimizing risk but potentially deterring buyers.

  • Letter of Credit (L/C): A bank-guaranteed payment method, ensuring payment upon compliance with terms. This is highly secure for exporters.

  • Documentary Collections: The exporter’s bank collects payment from the buyer’s bank, offering a balance of cost and security.

  • Electronic Payment Methods: Credit cards and online transfers are fast but require secure platforms.

How Astan Services Helps: We recommend the most secure payment method based on your buyer’s profile and market. Our experts assist in setting up letters of credit and documentary collections, ensuring your transactions are safe and efficient. Contact us to secure your export payments!
