Factoring vs LC discounting
Factoring
Sell your export invoices to a financier at a small discount and get cash today. Best when your buyer country has broad factoring coverage (high 0–100 score). Learn how export factoring works.
LC discounting
Borrow against an irrevocable letter of credit from the buyer's bank before the LC matures. Best where factoring coverage is limited but confirmed LC liquidity exists.
