Whether importing for local consumption or for re-exports, FCB has appropriate solutions, tailor-made to the requirements of our customers. Our Trade Products are envisaged to provide quick, efficient and seamless processes and are not complicated in terms of analysis and turnaround time. Our Trade Finance activities include the following:
We Provide both import and export letters of credit to our business clients. Our letters of credit services assure our clients timely payments from buyers and little worry or concerns about paying their suppliers. For instance, our Import Letters of Credit enables our clients to define the exact conditions under which their suppliers will be paid and if necessary we will require that third party inspections are undertaken to ensure that the goods are the ones you ordered.
The choice of a trade finance provider is vital in a world where both speed and attention to details are crucial.
This is an undertaking by the bank as a Guarantor to pay the beneficiary of the guarantee a specified sum should the bank’s customer fail or default. FCB offers its customers various guarantees e.g. Bid Bonds, Performance Guarantees, Advance Payment Guarantees, Shipping Guarantees, Custom Bonds, Transit Bonds, Immigration Bonds and other forms of sureties. These are based on the Islamic concept of Kafala i.e. a contract of guarantee or surety given by one party to discharge the liability of a third party in the event of default.
FCB delivers relevant commercial documents to an importer against payment/acceptance according to the collection instructions. Collections are ideal for those traders who have established good supplier-buyer relationships.
