Financing For Importers

Citibank provides one-stop shopping for the financing needs of importers. Our trade finance experts offer innovative solutions to the most complex deals, including bills discounting, letters of credit financing, receivables financing and forfeiting, as well as export credit agency-backed financing.

From virtually any local Citibank branch, you benefit from our experience and knowledge of major European, U.S., Canadian and Japanese Export Credit Agency (ECA) programs. This can be particularly helpful if you’re multi-sourcing commercial contracts, because it helps to improve your prospects for obtaining financing.

Our experience extends beyond local markets. When arranging financing, we can draw on the expertise of international teams specializing in specific industries, such as Retail, Technology, Chemicals, Automobiles, Telecommunications, Energy and Branded Consumer Products.

Citibank’s global network brings you additional, important benefits. Since we serve so many companies from our branches around the world, we may act on behalf of the buyer and seller at both ends of a transaction. This multiple involvement can streamline the exchange of information and ensure that the financial package meets the requirements of both parties.
