What is KBC Brussels Import Documentary Credit?

Establishing and maintaining new international relationships is often a real challenge for start-up businesses. Dealing with a totally different culture can seriously complicate things. So how do you go about building a relationship with a foreign supplier? KBC Brussels Import Documentary Credit guarantees your supplier that the sale will actually go ahead and that it can count on getting its money. It’s the perfect way to build a long-term relationship with your supplier.

How does it work?

KBC Brussels acts as your guarantor! We make an irrevocable undertaking on your behalf (as the Belgian importer) to pay a foreign supplier – following presentation of documents complying with the terms of credit – on demand or at a definite time, or to accept a bill of exchange and to pay it on the due date. KBC Brussels Import Documentary Credit ensures that your supplier has peace of mind.
