Types of Payment

There exist different types of payments used in foreign trade depending on the degree of trust relationship between the importer and the exporter and the risks undertaken by the parties.

Cash against document is the payment method that works in the manner in which the export documents are sent to the importer's bank to be delivered to the importer, following the loading by the exporter company, in return for collecting the cost of the goods in advance or accepting that the payment will be made in a certain term (policy acceptance or issuance of bonds).

The exporter undertakes the risk of importer not accepting the payment or not making the payment on due date in spite of accepting the payment.

The exporter may request that the payment be guaranteed by the importer's bank against the risk of the importer not making the payment. In this case, in addition to the acceptance by the importer, the bank of the importer may be requested to provide surety for the policy. In case of avalized transactions, the documents are delivered to the importer in return for acceptance by the importer of the time draft drawn by the exporter on behalf of the importer and in addition, the surety of the importer's bank.

Letter of credit is the type of payment that guarantees that the exporter will be paid by the bank at the time specified in the letter of credit, up to a certain amount at the request of the importer, in return for the documents requested on the letter of credit and provided that the conditions stipulated are met.

In the method of payment under letter of credit, when the exporter submits the documents in accordance with the terms of letter of credit to the bank, it makes sure that the bank will make the payment to it according to the terms of letter of credit. On the other hand, the advantage of this payment method for the importer is that the document requested under the letter of credit is examined by the bank and the payment is made only when the document is suitable.
