Secure Trade Transactions
Payment assurance and trade finance solutions that protect both buyers and sellers in cross-border commerce
De-risk your international trade with payment assurance
Cross-border trade involves trust gaps between importers and exporters who may never meet face-to-face. Monex bridges that gap with trade finance instruments that give buyers confidence their goods will arrive and sellers assurance they'll get paid — enabling businesses to trade internationally with reduced risk.
Letters of Credit
A bank-guaranteed payment instrument that assures exporters they will receive payment once they meet the documentary requirements, while protecting importers from paying before shipment.
- Irrevocable payment guarantee backed by issuing bank
- Documentary compliance checks protect both parties
- Available for sight and usance (deferred payment) terms
- Expert guidance on LC structuring and documentation
Documentary Collections
A cost-effective alternative to letters of credit where banks act as intermediaries to exchange payment for shipping documents, providing structure without the full cost of an LC.
- Lower fees than letters of credit
- Documents against Payment (D/P) and Documents against Acceptance (D/A)
- Bank-intermediated document exchange
- Suitable for established trading relationships
