K&H documentary collection

a classic international payment arrangement whereby the exporter submits the shipping documents along with a collection order for prompt or deferred payment

  • this payment method offers less security than a letter of credit but is simpler and less expensive
  • the involvement and influence of the Bank improves importers’ willingness to pay
  • it is not necessary to place the funds at the Bank’s disposal in advance
