International Services options
Foreign currency accounts – current and savings accounts
Our International Business Account is available in euro, US dollar and any tradable currency. A cheque book facility is also available. You can use these accounts to send and receive currency payments, without having to open accounts in the relevant country.
Import Documentary Credit
This helps to protect the interests of both buyer and seller and gives more security than trading on open account. We help you to identify what is the optimum trading cycle for your company.
Import Bills
These are useful if you want more security than trading on open account, but want to avoid issuing letters of credit. Our trade team will help you to finance the right solution.
Export Documentary Credits
Using letters of credit will ensure you get paid for your goods. We can put in place solutions to protect your international cashflows.
