How Buyer Loans work

HSBC provides you with short-term, trade-related working capital for your international purchases on a pre-shipment or post-shipment basis.

We pay your suppliers directly based on the invoice and transport documents.

Buyer Loans can be provided on a stand-alone basis for open account transactions, or coupled with Letters of Credit or Import Collections where you have a post-shipment funding gap.

Loan repayment terms are tailored to your trade cycle.

Before you can apply for a Buyer Loan, we’ll need to set up HSBCnet1 and an HSBC trade facility for you.

To find out how a Buyer Loan could help your business or to arrange a trade facility, contact one of our Trade Finance specialists.

HSBC TradePay

If you’re paying your suppliers by open account, HSBC TradePay lets you quickly and easily drawdown your loan and pay your suppliers, through a single seamless process. Available in selected sites. Subject to credit approval, T&Cs and fees. Find out more.
