What a remittance is

It is one of the most common payment methods in international trade. It consists of ordering the bank to process a series of documents that make it possible to collect payment on an export.
Types of remittances
Simple remittances, in which only financial documentation is provided (promissory notes, bills of exchange, etc.).

Documentary remittances, in which financial and commercial documentation is provided (invoices, pro forma invoices, contracts, etc.).

Advantages for the exporter

Having a bank process the collection means added security for you. In addition, in the case of documentary remittances, you retain property of the documentation that provides access to the goods until you are paid.
Advantages for the importer

You can verify that the documents are as agreed with the exporter before making the payment. This reduces uncertainty and gives you greater control over the operation.
