Trade risk

We provide trade risk solutions that aim to mitigate trade risk and give your business assurance and protection when importing and exporting.

There are a number of trade risks involved in import and export transactions

• Payment risk - that contracted payments are not received by the buyer or their bank
• Delivery risk - that the buyer does not obtain delivery of the goods after making payment to the seller
• Performance risk - that either the buyer or seller in a contract may not perform according to their agreed undertakings
• Foreign exchange risk - relating to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates (see our dedicated foreign exchange section).

ANZ's trade risk management solutions are used where one party to a transaction wants a financial 'guarantee' to support that transaction or a series of transactions. This provides confidence that contractual obligations will be honoured.

Solutions include

• Bank guarantees
• Standby letters of credit
• Documentary credits
• Bid bonds
• Performance bonds.

Any customer with a commercial contract expressed in foreign currency is exposed to foreign exchange risk and can benefit from ANZ solutions.

ANZ's foreign exchange risk solutions include

• foreign currency accounts
• foreign exchange contracts
• foreign currency options.
