Documentary Collections Trade Finance
Importers and exporters often rely on documentary collections (D/C) to settle cross-border trade. But cash flow gaps between shipment and payment can strain working capital. Financely raises debt and equity capital for clients who operate under documentary collection terms, so goods move, banks present documents, and capital is repaid later once the buyer settles.
Key Advantage:
We unlock liquidity during the collection cycle. You ship, documents are presented, and while payment waits, we arrange funding to cover costs.
How Documentary Collections Work
In a documentary collection, the exporter ships goods and submits documents through their bank. The importer’s bank releases documents once payment or acceptance of a bill of exchange is made. Unlike letters of credit, D/Cs rely on trust and banking channels without full payment guarantees. This creates funding gaps — especially under Documents Against Acceptance (DA)
where buyers delay payment.
Financely’s Role
- Raise debt or equity capital tailored to your shipment cycles.
- Structure short-term bridge financing for DA and DP (Documents Against Payment) terms.
- Provide underwriting and capital introductions when banks hesitate.
- Repayment is matched to collection settlement — you repay once your buyer pays.
