Nigerian Trader Availed Confirmed LC from Bronze Wing to Purchase Medical Gloves & Masks from China
To meet the emerging demands of PPE in the local market, the Nigerian trader decided to purchase medical gloves and masks from reliable suppliers. To make this deal conclude successfully, Bronze Wing Trading, the trade finance providers in Dubai issued Confirmed LC on behalf of the buyer and in favor of the seller without availing cash margin.
The Trader Required Confirmed LC
Since the start of the COVID-19 outbreak, the demands and needs of PPE supplies like gloves and masks have been increased. Also, countries are facing a spike in demand for PPE due to the Covid-19 pandemic. So, to meet the market demands, the trader decided to purchase gloves and masks from a reliable supplier. While searching for the one, the trader found a seller from China; who is ready to supply the required items at the best price. So, they contacted them and signed the Letter of Purchase.
The Chinese seller had the required PPE items ready for shipment. But, on the other hand, the trader didn’t have enough cash funds in their account; due to the COVID-19 recession. So, they thought of making use of MT700 to conclude the deal. Since the seller was also already aware of the pandemic situation, they agreed to the buyer’s request on using a Letter of Credit or LC MT700 as payment terms.
The Bank Declined the Trader’s LC Request
As we all know that the economy has been very badly hit due to COVID-19. And, almost all banks have restricted access of their trade finance facilities. So, it seems to be very hard to avail trade finance support from the banks. Even being aware of this, with a little hope, the buyer contacted their bank with the LC request. The bank was ready to help the trader but on demand of a 100% cash margin.
The trader didn’t have enough cash margin in their bank account. So they decided to get help from trade finance providers and started searching for a Letter of Credit Providers. While searching on Google, they come across with our LinkedIn Profile and contacted us.
