Documentary collections

As an exporter, documentary collection offers you far greater security than selling on open account, but not as much as a documentary credit. Credit, political and transfer risks, for instance, are not covered.

As the buyer or importer of the goods or services in question, you are the drawee for the purposes of the documentary collection.
