RHB Export Trade Services offers services that will lend credibility
and strength to your foreign trade transactions.
Let RHB Bank help you to collect and receive payment based on instructions and documents presented for domestic and international trade transactions. The collection is governed by the International Chamber of Commerce rules.
You are an Exporter and are expecting a Letter of Credit (LC) to effect your shipment urgently. RHB as an intermediary will forward the LC from the Issuing Bank to you. This is known as LC advising or export LC advising.
If you are a beneficiary of an Export Letter of Credit and require additional payment comfort, RHB Bank can mitigate the non-payment risk by adding its confirmation to the export Letter of Credit to guarantee payment to you upon your presentation of compliant documents.
In times of uncertainty, it is always best to have your Letter of Credit (LC) to be confirmed to avoid unnecessary risks. This allows RHB Bank to add its payment guarantee to the LC that does not call for confirmation. Present your documents for negotiation or discounting to RHB Bank and if the proceeds are not forthcoming from the issuing bank, RHB Bank shall not claim reimbursement from you.
If you are a middleman who does not have the capability to issue a Letter of Credit (LC) to your Exporters, transferring an LC is key to widening your business opportunities. By doing this, you will transfer part or all of your rights and obligations to the actual supplier who will ship the goods directly to the Buyer.
If you are a middleman who receive a Master Letter of Credit (LC) from the buyer and you do not wish to expose the original supplier of the goods, you can request RHB Bank to issue a Back to Back LC (BBLC) to secure delivery from the actual supplier.
Assignment of Proceeds is a convenient service rendered by RHB Bank to help you to redirect funds to the ultimate supplier with the proceeds you received under a Letter of Credit (LC).
If you need a simple form of guarantee that is acceptable internationally, a Standby Letter of Credit (SBLC) will be the right choice as it is governed under the International Chamber of Commerce rules. RHB Bank as the Issuer will guarantee on your behalf in the event of default or non-performance.
If you need to settle your cross-border transactions with China counterpart in Chinese Renminbi (RMB), RHB’s RMB Trade Products and Payments Services will be able to assist you.
