About Alliance Bank’s Trade Finance & Loan Service
Trade Finance, also known as trade financing & services, is a comprehensive solution that includes a wide range of financial products and services used by banks and businesses to facilitate transactions and mitigate any potential risks arising from domestic and international trade. Trade finance plays a crucial role in supporting trade activities and ensuring the smooth flow of goods and services across borders. Broadly, trade finance solutions can be categorised as Trade Financing and Trade Services.
One of the ways trade finance providers assist businesses is through Trade Financing. For instance, Bankers Acceptance, which is a type of trade financing with working capital facility that allows businesses to finance their purchases or sales. This additional facility provides flexibility and allowance for businesses to manage their cash flow and liquidity more effectively.
Additionally, through Trade Service solutions, such as the issuance of Letter of Credit by trade finance providers to help mitigate payment and supply risks, particularly in international trade transactions. A Letter of Credit serves as a form of security for both the buyer and seller. It ensures that the seller will receive payment as stipulated in the terms and conditions, while also guaranteeing the buyer the fulfillment of goods as agreed upon. This trade service adds a layer of protection and builds trust between the parties involved.
For small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), Alliance Bank provides a range of trade finance solutions tailored to their specific business needs. Our trade financing & services are available in both standard and customisable options, ensuring that SMEs can find the right solution to meet their unique requirements. Our dedicated Relationship Manager is available to assist SMEs in understanding and choosing the most suitable trade finance solution. SMEs are welcomed to approach our Relationship Manager for advice and recommendation.
Trade financing & services play a crucial role in helping businesses expand their global operations by addressing the uncertainties and risks associated with international trade. When dealing with international trade, businesses are highly exposed to uncertainties and potential risks, including currency fluctuations, payment and supply risks. Trade finance solutions help customers mitigate these uncertainties without having to worry about the creditworthiness of their international counterpart. This helps build trust and confidence, facilitating smoother trade transactions and minimising the risk of non-payment or default. On the other hand, trade financing provides short-term working capital allowance to bridge the cash flow gap during the import and export of goods. With trade financing solutions, businesses can bridge this gap and ensure the continuity of their global trade operations.
