Invoice financing enables an importer or exporter who trades on an open account basis to raise short-term pre or post shipment finance using commercial invoices (not proforma invoices) and transport documents. This form of finance can be domestic or cross border.

By presenting these documents the Bank can provide short-term finance to the importer or exporter. The tenor of each advance is normally 90 days but the maximum tenor should not normally exceed 180 days.

The maximum amount advanced for imports is 100% and for exports, the maximum should not normally exceed 85% of the invoice value.
