Supplier’s Credit – Financing as a sales argument in international business
With the SERV-covered Supplier’s Credit, the Swiss exporter offers its foreign customer long-term financing for the purchase of capital goods from Switzerland. This enables the exporter to enhance its offering with attractive payment terms and strengthen its competitive position—particularly in international tenders and investment projects.
Financial flexibility for the buyer
The customer repays in instalments over several years, aligned with the supply contract, and repayment can be serviced from the operating cash flow of the machine or the project. Payment processing is transparent and clearly regulated via the disclosed assignment (cession) of the receivable to Xport Finance.
Assignment of the receivable – transparent and clearly regulated
Within the framework of the Supplier’s Credit, the exporter assigns its receivable arising from the supply contract to Xport Finance.
This assignment is disclosed and subject to the buyer’s consent. The buyer is informed that the receivable has been transferred to Xport Finance and makes its future payments directly to Xport Finance.
