Strategic partners

We are believers in forging long-term strategic partnerships with our clients including buyers and sellers across the supply chain ecosystem around the world.

Receivables Finance

Guarantee

Conduct business with confidence, even where you lack established relationships, through the use of guarantees and standby letters of credit. An HSBC guarantee could enable you to negotiate favourable terms with buyers and suppliers by protecting them for non-performance under a contract while addressing your financing needs. HSBC offers tailored solutions including performance, advance payment, tender, warranty, financial guarantees and standby letters of credit as well as others upon request.

Open Account

Leverage the strength of HSBC’s trade network for safe, secure financing options when trading on open account terms. Buyers eliminate the need to issue a Documentary Credit (Letter of Credit) or Documentary Collection, with Import Finance being provided upon presentation of supplier invoices and evidence of shipping. Suppliers can access Export Finance simply by submitting an invoice and providing a copy of shipping documents to initiate payment. HSBC also offers comprehensive Receivables Finance options for additional working capital, credit protection and collections services.

Our business is increasingly complex, and we need more sophisticated financing solutions. As the treasurer, it’s hard for me to focus on financials while staying ahead of risks. I need a partner to smooth the path for both growth and risk.
