Financing export and import operations

Absolut Bank is a leader on the foreign trade finance market among medium-sized Russian banks.


Along with usual lending Absolut Bank offers its clients financing of import deliveries of goods and equipment by issuing documentary letters of credit or guarantees of first-class banks. The main advantage of the use of these instruments in settlements with foreign suppliers compared to a bank loan is the smaller cost of financing – from 8% p.a.

To reduce the cost of financing of foreign trade operations the clients of Absolut Bank use in their settlements various kinds of documentary letters of credit (with deferment of payment and with post-financing) as well as bank guarantees of first-class western banks both for export operations (tender guarantees, performance bond guarantees, advance payment guarantees) and for import operations (payment guarantees and guarantees of the repayment of commercial credit).

To deal with the problems connected with financing of the projects which envisage the purchase of expensive imported equipment Absolut Bank is implementing a program of organization of medium- and long-term financing for its clients from investment loans, extended by western banks under the credit lines opened for Absolut Bank, or against the guarantees of export credit agencies.

In addition to this, for participants in the foreign trade activity Absolut Bank offers bank guarantees in favor of the customs authorities as an alternative to a cash deposit.

Required documents:

  • Payment Guarantee Form
  • Letter of Credit Application/Application for Amendment of the Terms and Conditions
