Payment & financing · settlement

Settlement that fits the transaction.

Torix can combine product procurement with suitable payment and financing structures for eligible international transactions. The available structure depends on the buyer, product, transaction value, destination, issuing bank, required tenor and approval by the relevant partner.

Procurement · trade execution · financing support · one commercial relationship

Standard settlement · 01

The structures most trades settle on.

Simple, fast and bank-familiar. The document set is the same under every structure: invoice, packing list, origin, transport and inspection documents, matched and presented together.

STRUCTURE 01
Advance & balance TT

An agreed advance on contract confirmation, balance by bank transfer against the shipping documents. No bank issuance and no lead time; the contract is the setup. The split is agreed per transaction.

SetupNone, contract only
Best forStraightforward, repeat trades
STRUCTURE 02
Documents against balance payment

The balance is paid to receive the shipping documents, through the banking channel where agreed. Cargo control and payment discipline are the same mechanism, stated plainly in the contract.

ChannelDirect or bank collection
Best forEstablished counterparties
Letters of credit · 02

Bank undertakings, at sight or deferred.

Documentary credits are governed by ICC UCP 600. The buyer's bank pays on compliant documents; a confirmed variant adds a second bank where country or bank risk calls for it.

STRUCTURE 03
Sight Letter of Credit

Payable at sight against conforming documents. The bank's undertaking replaces the deposit wire, and Torix is paid on presentation. Bank charges follow the issuing bank's schedule, confirmed at quotation.

PaymentAt sight, against documents
Best forFirst trades · larger tickets
STRUCTURE 04
Usance Letter of Credit

Same mechanics, deferred settlement: the bank pays at an agreed tenor after document presentation, so the buyer settles after the cargo has landed and started moving. The tenor is fixed in the contract.

PaymentDeferred, at agreed tenor
Best forMatching payment to resale
Financed terms · 03

Extended structures, independently underwritten.

Where a buyer wants terms beyond the standard structures, independent partners can underwrite the trade directly. Torix is not a regulated lender, broker or financial adviser; the terms come from the lender, not Torix.

STRUCTURE 05
Trade-finance-supported settlement

An independent financier settles the trade against the document set and the buyer repays the lender on the schedule in their term sheet. The financier underwrites and contracts with the buyer directly.

STRUCTURE 06
Buyer-credit-supported terms

Terms supported by the buyer's own credit arrangements, or other structures proposed by the buyer's bank. Considered case by case, subject to approval, and stated in the quotation when available.

Eligibility and approval · Availability depends on transaction value, buyer profile, destination, issuing bank, product, tenor and independent underwriting. Financing is not automatically available with every quotation; the applicable settlement structure for any trade is confirmed in writing at quotation. Procurement-finance support is considered only in connection with an eligible Torix supply transaction; Torix does not provide personal or standalone business loans. To assess eligibility, include with your enquiry: company profile, recent financials, intended procurement value, product and destination, requested payment period, existing banking arrangements and, for documentary credits, the issuing bank. Instrument-by-instrument detail is on the payment structures page.
What finance may cover · 04

Structured around the whole trade cycle.

Coverage depends on the approved structure; nothing below is automatic. Each element is stated in the term sheet or contract for the specific transaction.

SCOPE 01

Procurement & production

Product procurement and production-stage payment obligations, where the approved structure provides for them.

SCOPE 02

Freight, insurance & documents

Freight, insurance, documentary and transaction costs, where the structure extends to shipment-side charges.

SCOPE 03

Shipment to settlement

The period between shipment and buyer settlement, matched to the agreed tenor and the buyer's working-capital cycle.
