Do you need to obtain financing upon presentation of the L/C documents?
Bills Negotiation / Bills Discounting allows a seller to obtain financing and receive immediate payment upon shipment of goods, based on trade transaction documents. The bank will negotiate when purchasing a Sight Bill of Exchange and discount when purchasing a Usance Bill Of Exchange.
Transactional process:
- After shipping the goods, the seller presents the shipping and/or financial documents to the bank.
- The bank checks the documents (if accompanied by a Letter Of Credit), purchases them, and credits the net proceeds to the seller's account.
- The bank then sends the documents to the buyer's bank and claims reimbursement.

Export Credit Agencies and Financing Partner
Our financing firm offers Exporters flexibility within a simple structure and increases their ability to win business in competitive international markets. Discounting can be applied as a stand alone finance package or it can be used in conjunction with officially supported credits backed by Export Credit Agencies (ECA's) such as ECGD in the UK, Hermes in Germany, Sace in Italy, Coface in France and Ex-Im Bank in the USA.
Used on its own, my financing Partner discounting flexibility enables Exporters to offer their clients financing for up to 100% of the contract value, whereas ECA backed finance is mainly restricted to only 85% of the value of the goods being supplied.
Used in conjunction with ECA backed credits, discounting can be used to finance the uncovered portion of the transaction, including the down payment or any ineligible foreign content. My partner financing firm has extensive experience working directly with exporters in providing financing solutions. Alternatively, it can work with the bank nominated to arrange the ECA backed credit.
What is Discountable?
Document evidencing the debt owed by the Buyer to the Exporter. This debt can be evidenced by a wide range of documentation such as
- Promissory Note
- Bills of Exchange
- Letters of Credit/Standby Letters of Credit
- Payment guarantees
- Open Book Receivables,
subject to certain conditions
In most instances, the debt will need to bear the unconditional, irrevocable and freely transferable guarantee or the aval of an acceptable bank in the Buyer's country. In some cases however, My Import & Export financing partner firm can consider top tier corporate or government debt without additional bank security.
