The bank has different policies and requirements for import and export agency companies in many aspects.
For account opening, generally, basic documents such as the business license and the identity document of the legal representative need to be prepared. Since import and export business involves foreign exchange, it may also be necessary to provide the Registration Form of Foreign Trade Operators, the Registration Certificate of Customs Declaration Entities, etc., to ensure the compliant conduct of foreign exchange business.
Regarding loans, the bank will consider the company's operating status, financial strength, volume and stability of import and export business, etc. Larger companies, due to their mature business and strong ability to resist risks, may be more favored. However, if a newly established company has high-quality business channels and a clear business plan, the bank will also conduct a comprehensive evaluation and provide support, such as providing trade financing products like import and export bill negotiation, to assist with capital turnover. Meanwhile, the bank also pays attention to the company's credit record, and a good credit record is helpful for obtaining more favorable policies.
In conclusion, the bank evaluates from multiple dimensions, and both new and established companies have opportunities to receive support.
