A choice of two types of Import Loan:
Loan Against Import – available when you are trading under Documentary Credit or Documentary Collection terms. Goods are released to you under trust receipts, meaning that you can use the goods immediately but they belong to the bank until you settle the loan.
Clean Import Loan – rather than being triggered by the receipt of a Documentary Credit or Documentary Collection, the advance is made on presentation of supplier invoices and evidence of shipment only.
