Ensure monitoring of payment processes

As a supplier, you ensure the delivery of your goods, while as an importer, you ensure the implementation of your pre-agreed payment method.

For importers

You can reduce the management time and cost of documents against payment, thanks to a wide range of correspondents in every market, by means of which you can avoid going through other intermediary banks. Furthermore, you can monitor your payables and your information statements through NBG.

For exporters

You can ensure the accurate depiction of the pre-agreed terms in the collection order to the foreign Bank. At the same time, through NBG you can monitor the progress of the delivery of documents against payment, the acceptance/issuance of debits instruments and of the collections, as well as enjoy instant crediting of the incoming interbank payments.
