Use Our Expertise to Collect Overseas Payments with Confidence

Prompt payment for goods supplied is essential to the profitability of every business. But when those goods have been exported, local circumstances – like language barriers, a poor risk profile or longer payment periods – can adversely affect your cash flow.

You need clear advice on the best payment option for you – and a reliable source to issue the correct documentation.

Point-to-Point can explain how the various payment procedures work and carry out a risk analysis of the available options for both buyer and seller. We can then help issue all documents for the payment method selected.

We help to prepare:

• Letters of Credit. These hold the buyer to an irrevocable bank payment that is made once the seller ships the goods with all the documentation specified.
• Cash Against Documents. The buyer pays the bank holding the necessary clearing documents before obtaining the goods.

Our involvement in payment documentation can be as great, or as little, as you need. Typically, and depending on the payment method adopted, we undertake to:

• Liaise with all those affecting the issue and substance of the documents being prepared
• Check content and wording to ensure the relevant documents are workable
• Check third party documents, such as bills of lading
• Assist with the presentation of documents to banks.
