Import Finance (advance payment)
Agebanque provides loans to importers like you to pay your overseas exporters. Funds can be advanced up-front against a specific timeline for the production and shipment of finished goods agreed by you and your exporter.
Benefits
- Provides loan to fund the exporter’s purchase of materials to fulfill your order
- Strengthens the exporter’s finances to promote a healthy supply chain
- Flexible loan repayment options – in exchange for goods on arrival at destination, or on extended credit post arrival (subject to credit evaluation)
- Removes any need by your exporter for LC or credit insurance as Agebanque guarantees your credit
In-transit Import Finance
Our In-transit Import Finance funds your imports from the time your exporter delivers the goods to Agebanque. When cargo arrives (or later, if agreed), you pay Agebanque. Unlike most conventional lenders, Agebanque accepts in-transit inventory as collateral.

- Improves your working capital efficiency
- Boosts your liquidity
- Facilitates a price discount from your exporter for early payment
- Potential to extend your credit beyond arrival of goods (subject to credit evaluation)
- Improves your relationship with your exporter through early payment of your invoices when due
- Timely digital release of your goods rather than paper-based lender methods
