Enhance the acceptability of your business proposition and secure your deal by applying for a Letter of Credit (LC) which leverages UOB’s strong credit rating. Manage your payments more efficiently with the assurance that the goods will be shipped before payment is made.

 

Unlock your liquidity with short-term financing which allows you to settle your import payments and take possession of goods on trust for resale before paying the bank at maturity.

Obtain favourable credit terms and manage your cash flow better with Invoice Financing against supporting trade documents (eg. commercial invoices, transport documents etc.).
