  • Limitation of the fx rate risk to the period calculated from the day of concluding a trade contract to the date of purchasing receivables.
  • More attractive market position owing to the possibility to offer deferred payments to importers.
  • Forfaiting is the quickest and cheapest method of financing transactions.
