As an importer, you can rely on Fortis Bank to help you with suppliers who demand immediate payment for the goods you wish to buy.  The bank may either discount an import acceptance or commit itself on your behalf to pay your supplier at a specified date in the future.  This allows you to collect the goods and have them sold before you need to pay for them. 

As an exporter, you may be driven to grant deferred payment terms to your foreign clients, which can result in short-term treasury deficits.  Next to permanent or temporary overdraft facilities, Fortis Bank has acceptance and discounting solutions that can help you get your money sooner while still granting your clients time to pay.
