Letters of Credit

The primary aim of this instrument is to act as a safety net for both the buyer and seller in the fulfilment of each party’s obligations during a commercial trade. Due to the nature of international transactions, including factors such as distance, differing jurisdictions, language/cultural barriers, etc, the use of letters of credit has become a very important aspect of international trade.

MAY INT has advised over 200k LCs through its platform in countries like India, China, UAE, Singapore, etc.

Trade Loan Facilities and Buyer's Credit

Trade loans work as fully revolving credit facilities that businesses use to provide financing for the gap between the purchase of a product and repayment from the end buyer. Each loan is usually short-term and is for a specific transaction which companies use for importing products.

MAY INT can structure trade financing arrangements against Upas (Usance Payable at Sight) to suit your trading cycle for both regular and one-off financing needs. With the documentary credit UPAS clause, you can benefit from payment terms while allowing your supplier to be paid quickly.

Factoring and Receivable Finance

It is a tailored package of services designed to secure your debt collection and improve your cash flow, giving you a competitive advantage in your domestic and international markets. 

MAY INT partners with the London Forfaiting Company and the digital factoring platform Stenn, which is the largest and fastest-growing online platform for recivable finance in international trade. They are both based in London, provides financing services in 74 countries and is backed by financial giants like HSBC, Barclays, Natixis and many others.

Syndicated Foreign Currency Options

Syndicated loans arise when a project requires too large a loan for a single lender or when a project needs a specialized lender with expertise in a specific asset class. Lenders can distribute risk and participate in financial possibilities that are too huge for their own capital bases by syndicating the loan.

In 2015 and 2016, MAY International successfully raised a total of USD 105 million for AB Bank's OBU through a syndicated loan arrangement against bond with Noor Bank Dubai (now Dubai Islamic Bank) acting as the lead arranger. With this expertise and experience, MAY INT continues to be a market leader in arranging alternative bank facilities.

 

Sustainability

International trade is an engine for economic growth and development, but it also accounts for some 80% of the world’s carbon emissions. This hub aims to report on how economies are tackling the challenge of meeting the targets preset by multi-country agreements, which set a path for signatory countries to reduce greenhouse emissions.
