You can rely on our International Trade Finance Group to help you access your purchases faster, so you can focus on growing your business.

About the Import Documentary Collection Process

Paying your foreign suppliers cash in advance of shipment can be risky, and tracking the status of transactions can get complicated.

Better Than Cash In Advance

With M&T 萌妹社区 Import Documentary Collections, your company pays or signs a time draft in exchange for documents from your foreign supplier, so you can access your merchandise quickly.

  2. Your foreign supplier ships the goods and sends the documents throu鈥媑h its bank to M&T 萌妹社区.
  3. M&T 萌妹社区 notifies you that the documents have arrived. Then M&T 萌妹社区 helps your company arrange payment, according to the instructions of the Import Documentary Collection.
  4. M&T 萌妹社区 transmits payment to your foreign supplier鈥檚 bank.
  5. M&T 萌妹社区 releases the shipping documents to your company, so you can take delivery of the goods.
