Cash in Advance Ideal for exporter but may not be competitive – Wire transfer is best approach – Checks should not be used for international transactions Credit Cards – Many exporters accept credit cards – Beware – increase in fraudulent uses and stolen cards

Letters of Credit Payment made after verification of all documents and terms are satisfied Sales terms/contracts are basis for letter of credit Requires knowledge of the process to prevent errors

Open Account Convenient and competitive method of payment for well-established buyer with good credit Lack of documents and banking channels may make it difficult to pursue legal enforcement of claims Best combined with export credit risk insurance

International Finance Government programs to finance export transactions and capital to undertake export operations Working capital loans for American exporters and financing for foreign buyers

Private Sources of Financing Commercial banks Private export finance companies Export management and export trading companies Factoring houses

Insurance and Risk Mitigation Policies Export transactions and for overseas investments. Coverage includes losses for non-payment, currency inconvertibility, asset expropriation and other political risks.
