Mercantil Commercebank is a leader in the world of trade finance. With extensive experience in providing services to expedite payments and reduce risk for companies engaged in domestic and international trade, whether purchasing from local suppliers, vendors overseas, or selling within the United States or abroad.

Pre-Export Financing
We offer financing strategies to acquire inventory for export, whether to fulfill one order or conduct many transactions. Our understanding of how the global economy works is an important advantage in reducing your business risk.

Post-Export Financing
We can help you increase your export sales with minimal risk through our affiliations and arrangements with credit insurance companies and Eximbank. At the same time, we can help you protect your trade accounts receivables.

Import/Export Financing
Through Mercantil Commercebank, you can finance your imports at very competitive rates with terms tailored to your firm’s requirements. We also offer various financing strategies for the production of goods for export, including pre-export loans made against the assignment of export letters of credit confirmed by Mercantil Commercebank.

Eximbank Loans
We work with Eximbank to enable United States exporters to sell their products overseas with minimized political and commercial risk. We also provide United States exporters with working capital to acquire raw materials, supplies, and process inventory destined for export. For overseas buyers, we facilitate both short-term and medium-term import financing.

Letters of Credit
Letters of credit offer special payment and documentation protection to both importers and exporters. As an importer, you can be assured payment will be made only when the seller has provided documentation confirming the goods have shipped. As an exporter, a letter of credit ensures payment even if your buyer defaults. Our network of correspondent banks facilitates the issuance of letters of credit on a worldwide basis while providing for the negotiation of documents and payment approvals. Through these processes, Mercantil Commercebank helps protect our clients against trade-related risks.
