Export Collection
This provides you with a more secure payment for your exports. You can gain reassurance of payment and use the banking system to maintain control over your goods with Export Collections.
Import Collection
This is safer than paying for your goods in advance since you make a payment only when you receive evidence of the shipment, protecting against the risk of non-performance of your supplier.
