Trade Finance FAQs

Funding which allows you to make purchases and pay local and overseas suppliers. It means you can purchase what you need before you’ve received any cash from the sale of your goods. This helps bridge any cash flow gaps.

We pay your suppliers on your behalf so you get the goods, then you repay us when you make the sale through our Invoice Finance facility. Seasonal businesses, or businesses that receive large, one-off orders, can also benefit from Trade Finance.

Our Trade Finance can provide funding of up to €5 million (through our combined Invoice Finance and Trade Finance facility) to import goods for confirmed orders.

Generally, we can set up a facility in  a matter of days, however this depends on how complex your business situation is and the speed in which we can access the information we need from you.

You’ll have an initial confidential discussion with one of our advisers or to arrange a meeting. Once we understand your needs, we can provide an indicative offer. Following a new business review and consideration by our credit committee we can make a credit offer to you. If you choose to partner with us we’ll arrange a set up meeting and make payment to you.

The cost will depend on which product works best for you, and the services you wish to use as part of any agreement.
