The Story


A successful trader has to live with the fact that once his credit line is established by his banker, in most instances it will remain unchanged until the next set of annual financial statements are prepared. A banker cannot look beyond the numbers, so a trader's growth potential and profitability is limited to its established credit line. Given the current climate post 9/11 with the US Bank Secrecy Act, the US Patriot Act and the US OFAC, banks are becoming even more regulated and are stretching already overburdened resources to manage compliance issues, especially in their international trade services departments. Amkel offers non-traditional trade finance solutions for fast growing trading companies that are long on orders and short on cash. Amkel's mission statement is to provide working capital solutions to fast growing companies involved in international trade. The company prides itself with its consultative, non-cookie cutter method of analysing, mitigating and structuring risk. The following are some typical scenarios:

Purchase Order Finance


  • Definition: The financing of inventory against orders from credit-worthy customers.
  • Typical Scenarios: An importer or exporter may be (a) thinly capitalized or (b) an established company which is maxed out with its bank's credit facility. The company has purchase orders from credit-worthy customers and needs to finance goods against these orders.
  • Solution: Amkel will finance 100% of the goods relating to these specific orders by issuing a Letter of Credit to the overseas supplier.

The Client needs to complete the following:


  • Application Form
  • Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
  • Non Circumvention Agreement (NCA)
  • Documentary "Letter of Credit" Application
  • Commercial "Letters of Credit" Bank List
