Buyer's loan

Exporters, in particular exporters of capital equipment, know that, apart from quality and price, a buyer on the international market decides on a supplier, almost as a rule, based on the payment requirements, i.e. loan requirements offered by the sellers. PBZ is the first business bank in the Republic of Croatia to have recognized the importance of providing loans abroad to support Croatian export sector in the market competition for large foreign projects and, in 2000, granted the first buyer's loan in the Republic of Croatia.

Buyer's Credit is a loan intended as support and promotion of export, used by PBZ, as the bank of the exporter, to grant loans to the importer's bank/the importer insured from commercial and political risks by insurance policy issued by the HBOR, the Croatian export credit agency, in favour of PBZ. The loan is used to finance export of goods and services of Croatian origin

Buyer's Credit offers many advantages to the exporter:

  • Increased demand and markets for goods and services abroad
  • Increased exporter's liquidity
  • No loan risk (exporter bears no risk for not paying the loan)
  • No foreign currency risk (payment in the currency of the commercial contract)
  • Loan is not within exposure limit, which PBZ granted to the exporter
  • PBZ has become the no. 1 business bank in the Republic of Croatia in the business of financing export via Buyer's loan.

Requirements:

Financing request is delivered to PBZ before the commercial contract is concluded.
Loan is used to finance max. 85 % of the value of export contract, while 15 % of the work value is paid via 15 % in advance
Loan is repaid in the currency of the export contract (EUR or USD) to the exporter, and loan is paid by the exporter or his bank.
If the repayment date is two years, loan can be up to 100 % of the export contract.
The amount of the export contract is gained by reducing the commercial contract by the amount of local costs (goods costs, services, fees, taxes, etc.) paid in the exporter’s state.

The maximum amount of local costs that can be financed is 30 % of the export contract.

Consumer loans

PBZ has enabled craftsmen and company owners to purchase goods and services via our consumer loan. The amount of the loan that can be granted is between EUR 500 and 10,000.

Guarantees

 

We take pride in the fact that, since your domestic and foreign partners highly value the name of Privredna banka Zagreb, they may often explicitly request a guarantee from your Bank - Privredna banka Zagreb.

Based on your request, we can issue different guarantees in various forms and with different expiry dates, in support of your business both in Croatia and abroad:

  • payment guarantees - serving as security instruments for payment of goods and financial loans
  • performance guarantees - serving as security instruments for the completion of contractual obligations (tender guarantees, advance payment guarantees, temporary import guarantees, good performance bonds, warranty guarantees, retention money guarantees etc.)
  • customs guarantees
  • counter-guarantees in favour of foreign banks
  • okvirne revolving linije za korištenje garantnih proizvoda i pisama namjere

A precondition for the issuance of a guarantee by the Bank is the submission of an application and all relevant accompanying documents:

  • i.e. contracts, public tender documents etc.
  • in addition to these documents, the application must also include all your status and financial documents.

Guarantees received from abroad

If you wish to secure the collection of your claims from abroad or the proper performance of services of any kind through your business partner's commercial bank guarantees issued in your favour, PBZ can offer you the following services:

  • forwarding your business partner's bank guarantee received by SWIFT and confirming the authenticity of the guarantee
  • authentication of a guarantee received directly from your foreign partner's commercial bank
  • providing an expert opinion on the wording of a received guarantee

Documentary Letter of Credit

A Documentary Letter of Credit (L/C) is a conditional undertaking of payment for goods or services. It is a written undertaking by an issuing bank given to the Seller (Beneficiary) at the request and on the instructions of the Buyer (Applicant) to pay at sight or at a specified future dated a defined amount against presentation of stipulated documents.

A Documentary Letter of Credit is the safest payment instrument, which gives maximum protection both to the buyer and the seller.

If you are a BUYER / IMPORTER , an L/C can protect your interests because the payment of an agreed amount of money will be made only if the seller (exporter) presents documents in compliance with the terms and conditions of the L/C to prove that the goods or services of an agreed quality have been delivered/provided in the agreed quantity within an agreed period of time. 

Vi ste kao kupac osigurani da će komercijalni posao biti realiziran prema ugovoru te da ćete dobiti upravo onu robu koju ste naručili (količinu i kvalitetu) i u dogovorenom roku. 
S druge strane, mi, Privredna banka Zagreb, jamčimo vam da plaćanje neće biti izvršeno ako dokumenti nisu u skladu s uvjetima akreditiva.

If you are a SELLER / EXPORTER , an L/C can secure the collection of payment, provided that you deliver goods or provide services and submit  to the Bank all the relevant documents in compliance with the terms  and conditions of the L/C. A deferred payment L/C provides both an insurance for payment for your exported goods and  a perfect trade finance instrument.

Export forfaiting

Export forfaiting is a flexible and quick form of financing consisting of long-term and short-term claims recovery without the right of recourse to the previous creditor.

It is the fastest way to finance an exporter through the recovery of transferable payment insurance instruments.

Acceptable forfaiting instruments are:

  • Irrevocable documentary letter of credit opened for the exporter's benefit;
  • Promissory notes guaranteed by a bank or issued by borrowers with a rating acceptable to the Bank;
  • Irrevocable, unconditional bank warranties payable on the first call, issued in favour of exporters guaranteed the payment of debtor's due obligations.

Escrow Account

An escrow account is one in which the contracting parties in a commercial agreement (the client in relation to the Bank), deposits an escrow with a bank (the bank as broker), money, securities or document which are kept on deposit, in that the bank is authorized to pay out the deposited money or document to the other contracting party (the beneficiary), under the conditions established by the escrow contract between the bank and the escrow agent, the client and the beneficiary.
