Documentary Collections

Secure. Structured. Simplified

Power your trade with confidence using ICB’s full suite of Trade Finance Solutions. Whether you’re importing goods, exporting products, securing contracts, or participating in competitive bids, our services are structured in line with internationally recognized ICC rules (UCP 600, URC 522, URDG 758) to protect your transactions, mitigate risk, and strengthen your credibility—locally and globally. All trade finance products are processed securely through ICB’s global SWIFT network and subject to credit approval, compliance checks, and applicable tariff schedules.

Our Documentary Collections service provides a safe, cost-effective, and internationally recognized method of handling import and export payments. Acting strictly as an intermediary, ICB facilitates the exchange of shipping documents against payment or acceptance, ensuring transactions are routed through secure banking channels. Offered in accordance with ICC Uniform Rules for Collections (URC 522), under these rules, banks do not guarantee payment but act as intermediaries only.
