Forfaiting
Forfaiting is the purchase of a series of credit instruments such as drafts, bills of exchange, other freely negotiable instruments on a nonrecourse basis. Nonrecourse means that if the importer does not pay, the forfeiter cannot recover payment from the exporter.
The exporter gets immediate cash on presentation of relevant documents and the importer is liable for the cost of the contract and receives credit for a certain time frame and at certain per cent interest. The forfaiter deducts interest at an agreed rate for credit period.
The debt instruments are drawn by the exporter, accepted by the importer, and will bear an aval or unconditional guarantee, issued by the importer’s bank. The forfeiter takes over responsibility for claiming the debt from the importer. The forfeiter holds the notes until maturity, or sells them to another investor. The holder of the notes presents each note to the bank at which they are payable.
