TRADE FINANCE

FORFAITING


Forfaiting is the discounting of trade receivables, without recourse to the Exporter. It is a highly flexible technique that allows an Exporter to grant attractive credit terms to foreign Buyers, without tying up cash flow or assuming the risks of possible late payment or default. Simultaneously, the Exporter is fully protected against interest and/or currency rates moves.

1. Export and Import finance
2. Pre-export and post-shipment finance
3. Forfaiting of medium-term notes

5. Medium-term financing for capital goods
6. Islamic finance
7. Project Finance (with or without ECA coverage)

WORKING CAPITAL FINANCING


Additionally, Cross Border Financial Services assists the exporter in financing their working capital needs using a variety of products and techniques:
