As an importer, you need to convey your creditworthiness to Sellers, especially those you’ve not done business with before.
That’s where BMO’S Import Documentary Credit solution can help.
Here’s how it works:
After reaching a trade agreement with a Seller, you submit a Letter of Credit application to BMO.
BMO then issues a Letter of Credit to that Seller’s bank, promising to submit payment upon receipt of the necessary import documentation.
Once the Seller has received this Letter of Credit from their bank, they ship the goods to you and submit the import documents to BMO.
After verifying that these documents align with the Letter of Credit, BMO makes a payment to the Seller’s bank on your behalf, and sends you the documents you need in order to claim your goods.
An Import Documentary Credit not only benefits you …
It benefits your Seller, too.
