Avalisation

We avalise your import documentary collection and direct imports, thereby substituting your risk to NBF. This assures payment to the exporters at maturity and improves your credibility amongst all transacting parties.

Shipping Guarantee

If your goods arrive at the port before your documents, NBF issues shipping guarantees to help clear your goods immediately, hence saving you from any potential demurrage charges.

Letters of Credit

We open various Letters of Credit such as sight, deferred, usance, revolving and transferable, which are subject to the Uniform Customs and Practice (UCP) guidelines issued by the International Chamber of Commerce. NBF's extensive banking relationship worldwide ensures that Letters of Credit are advised to beneficiaries quickly, while providing a commitment of irrevocable payment - and a peace of mind - to the exporter for his shipment and service.

Import Collections

Our turnaround time for import documentary collections is short, thereby helping you clear your goods quickly upon arrival. This service abides by International Chamber of Commerce's Uniform Rules for Collections (URC) and is an easier method of payment under international trade.

Trust Receipt Financing

We provide trust receipt financing against Letters of Credit, documentary collections, advance payments and direct import requirements for payment to suppliers. Repayment tenors are tailored to your working capital requirements and are payable upon receipt of sale or maturity.
