forfaiting
… for problem-free exporting …

Forfaiting, or all-in discounting, is an operation of discounting (assignment) of cash-receivables from supplies with deferred payment. It can be performed either without recourse to the exporter or with recourse. The Italian exporter assigns its cash-receivables to the bank and obtains immediate payment for its supply, reduced by the amount of discount interest. Discounting without recourse enables the exporter to cut out all risk of failure to pay as well as any other possible risks, i.e. country risk.

Forfaiting: an example

The Slovenian company asks the Italian company to pay 4 months after supply of goods. The Italian exporter contacts NLB.

Italian company: Manufacturer of durable consumer goods, with various potential B2B buyers in Slovenia who ask for deferred payment beyond the usual 30 days.

Slovenian company:
Private limited company (d.o.o.) with a positive rating from the bank; it purchases only if payment can be extended/deferred to 4 months.


NLB examines the extension request made to the Italian company and agrees to discount the cash receivables to the Slovenian purchaser (the Slovenian counterpart's debt).

The procedure requires:
Request from the Italian company: Oct 20, 2003
  Offer: Oct 21, 2003
  Acceptance of the offer, presentation of the documents, and disbursement: Nov 25, 2003

In how long? Just over 30 days from the initial request to disbursement of the financing.

The costs:
commitment fee - (sometimes)
  flat fee - management fee
  discount interest depending on the duration and risk of the operation
