Trade finance - Documentary and clean collection
DOCUMENTARY AND CLEAN COLLECTION
Documentary and clean collection is designed for:

Legal entities, traders

Documentary and clean collection characteristics:

Documentary and Clean Collections are traditional payment instruments used both in domestic and foreign trade transactions. The counterparties make use of this instrument in those cases when the risk involved in the transaction does not require the bank's undertaking - in contrast to letter of credit or guarantee - however the business partners are reluctant to carry out the transaction with no form of security at all. As the payment under the Collection is not secured by the bank, this method of payment is appropriate when the seller does not doubt the buyer's willingness and ability to take over the goods and to pay for them, as well as the stability of the political, economic and legal environment in the buyer's country.

With the Collection the seller usually submits to the bank the shipping documents along with the instructions - the conditions under which the documents presented are to be released to the buyer. Such a condition might be to release the documents against payment or against acceptance of a draft. When a draft for collection is not accompanied by commercial documents (e.g. invoices, bills of lading, certificate of origin ...) we talk about Clean Collection.
