Pre Advice MT 705
The Bank Instrument for the Financial Proof
A Pre-Advice MT705 is a financial instrument we use for ensuring the financial capacity of the buyer. For us, as the seller, it is important to ensure the buyer is fully capable of entering the trade and fulfilling the financial responsibilities regarding it. MT705 is simultaneously a confirmation from your bank, sent via SWIFT, that the bank is willing and able to issue the Letter of Credit MT700 for covering the payments of the trade.
Letter of Credit MT 700
The Bank Instrument for the Payment
A Letter of Credit MT700, shortly LC, is commonly used for payments in international trade. It's the instrument issued by your bank to our bank, and it should be confirmed by our bank or a third party bank as well. By using an LC, as a seller, we can be sure of receiving the payments at the right time, and you as a buyer, can ensure the quality and quantity of the goods delivered before sending the actual payments. When the goods are inspected by a widely trusted world-class inspection company, the payments and deliveries continue smoothly and safely from the start to the end, benefiting both of the parties involved.
Performance Bond
The Bank Instrument for the Guarantee of Quality
Performance Bond, shortly PB, is an instrument issued by our bank, which guarantees the delivery and the quality of the goods agreed in the SPA. The guarantee of PB covers the responsibilities borne by the seller and the lack of conformity of the goods or the delivery. Performance Bond is issued as a response to the MT705 issued by your bank.
