Buyers Credit
If you offer Buyers Credit to importers in other countries to procure capital goods and services or other big ticket items then you will need an application that can rise to the challenges of Export Finance - like including the Export Finance agency as the guarantor, handling Foreign Exchange denominated loans along with interest rate spreads, providing for exchange rate risk and paying the exporter once the shipment is made.
On the other hand if you arrange for buyers credit for your clients engaged in importing goods from other countries you will need an application that generate the proposals, determine all facilities enjoyed by the client with your bank, forward these proposals and exposure to the appripriate authorities in the central bank for approvals and track the events and fees and charges at every stage of processing.
What is Buyers Credit?
Buyer's Credit is a short term credit facility extended by banks in a country to overseas buyers's for import of goods from the country where the bank is based. The credit facility is extended against a Letter of Comfort or Bank Guarantee given by the importer's bank. Buyers resort to this form of short term borrowing to take advantage of lower interest rates in countries other than their own. The duration of a Buyer's Credit is between one to two years.
