Collection
 
Clean Collection
CMB collects the Bills of Exchange/Drafts without commercial documents presented by you. Alternative credit is available:
Immediate credit: Your account will be credited immediately upon CMB’s account is credited by the foreign remitting bank within 1-2 working days after its receipt of your drafts according to the terms of the collection agreement between CMB and the remitting bank. Credit by this means is subject to recourse if the drafts are dishonored by the drawee upon presentation.
Credit after final collection: Your account is credited only after CMB receives the payment by the drawee from the foreign remitting bank.

Benefits
Safer: Presentation of bills or drafts is done by banks.
Faster: Collection time is sharply reduced by using CMB’s “immediate credit” agreements with its global correspondents.
Documentary Collection
CMB collects payment of your commercial and financial documents from the importer through foreign collecting bank. There are two methods of payment: Documents against Payment (D/P) and Documents against Acceptance (D/A). 

Benefits
Easier process: Easier and cheaper to operate than Letter of Credit.
Reduced risk: Title of goods is transferred only after importer’s full payment (D/P) or acceptance of a draft (D/A). Less risky for the exporter compared with Open Account (O/A) payment terms.
Inward Collection
CMB, at its foreign correspondent’s instructions and on behalf of an exporter, presents commercial and/or financial documents to you, as an importer and collects your payment under Documents against Payment (D/P) or gets your acceptance under Documents against Acceptance (D/A).

Benefits
Easier process: Easier and cheaper to operate than Letter of Credit.
Less funds tied up: No advance payment is required when the exporter arranges shipments; documents are released and goods may be taken immediately against your payment. In particular, nearly no funds are tied up with D/A as you may make payment after the goods are sold and money returns.
