Import
When you import goods or services, using documentary credits as your method of payment offers several advantages:
  • No obligation to pay unless all the conditions of the documentary credit are fulfilled.
  • Using documentary credits with extended credit terms may be an alternative to traditional forms of bank finance such as overdrafts.
  • A possible discount from the exporter because of secure and fast payment.
  • Multiple payments can be made under a documentary credit.
  • Your credit reputation is enhanced by providing suppliers with documentary credits.
  • Prompt shipment of goods.
To request a documentary credit, fill out an application for issuance and send it to Northern Bank.
