Bill Avalisation is the bank's undertaking on behalf of the importer, to honour, payments of Bills of Exchange from the supplier for both domestic and international trade. The facility is normally used where the seller’s only concern is the buyer’s payment risk.
Through our documentary collections service, Stanbic Bank handles the documentary management process on behalf of both importers and exporters, acting as an agent for the collection and remittance of payments. Documents are submitted directly to the bank on the instruction of the exporter. The bank accepts no risk of non-payment by the importer.
