Credit Bank of Moscow and UMMC Group have signed  the multi-currency Agreements on issuing letters of credit (Agreements).

Within the above mentioned Agreements the companies of UMMC Group can issue LCs using the system of Kontur.Diadok.

LCs transactions at the Kontur.Diadok platform do simplify the paperwork at the very same level of reliability. 

Also Credit Bank of Moscow offered to the Suppliers of the UMMC Group the option of discounting the LCs. It allows the supplier to get the payments before the term of the deferred payment and without the necessity to set up the credit limits.

On average, it cut the operation’s period down to 10 days. Advising and documents’ exchange now take minutes instead of days. Member organizations of the UMMC Group wanted to get a product that will be convenient to work with considering private procurement from various suppliers. We managed to help the client to deal with the problem of transferring a big amount of internal Russian suppliers with frequent shipments to the letters of credit”.

In this case, we will accept the documents from the foreign supplier and the Russian buyer through the electronic platform on base of the services Kontur.Diadok and Kontur.Factoring where the documents will be signed using digital signature. Transferring the deal to the electronic document flow provides the opportunity of acceleration the financing timeframes and cutting down the paperwork’s volume.
