Remittance
Remittance is a straightforward transfer of funds from an importer (buyer) to an exporter (seller) through the banking system to settle a trade obligation. Unlike complex instruments like Letters of Credit (LC), a remittance is essentially a direct payment where banks act only as facilitators and do not guarantee payment.

Key Methods of Remittances
1
Telegraphic Transfer (T/T): An electronic wire transfer, currently the most common method due to its speed (often 1–3 business days).
2
Demand Draft (D/D): A negotiable instrument issued by a bank that the importer mails to the exporter to be cashed at a local bank.
3
Mail Transfer (M/T): A slower, traditional method where the remitting bank sends payment instructions to the receiving bank via airmail.
How the Platform Supports Remittance Transactions
By enabling remittance transactions on the platform, users can initiate, track, and reconcile trade-related payments within a single, standardized workflow. The platform centralizes payment instructions, transaction status, and supporting references, improving visibility for importers, exporters, and banks. This reduces manual follow-ups, minimizes errors, and ensures faster settlement for straightforward trade payments where bank guarantees are not required.
For Exporters
Benefit from faster settlement cycles and improved cash-flow predictability, particularly through T/T. Transparent transaction tracking, clear payment references, and bank-to-bank confirmation reduce reconciliation effort, disputes, and payment uncertainty across borders.
For Importers
Make straightforward international payments quickly and easily without the administrative burden or higher costs of structured trade finance instruments. Remittance options offer flexibility to match urgency and budget, enabling efficient supplier payments while maintaining control over timing and documentation.
For Banks
Optimize remittance operations through standardized payment instructions and automated processing. Improved visibility across transactions enhances compliance, reduces manual intervention and errors, and enables better operational control while delivering a reliable, scalable service to trade clients.
