For expanding your business abroad

Your business is ready to conquer new markets. Through strategic guidance and customised solutions, we help you unlock new opportunities.

Conquer new markets

Expanding your operations abroad is a strategic decision. New markets mean new revenue flows, more clients and further business growth. They also come with new challenges: different currencies, regulatory frameworks, practices and other financial risks. It is a new chapter, both commercially and financially.

This is why you need a reliable banking partner; someone to stand by you in the face of adversity. At Alpha Bank we have the experience and know-how to help your business expand into new markets. Book an appointment to visit a branch near you and discuss your options or contact your Relationship Manager directly.

With the right tools and financing

Invest in expanding your business, with a clear plan and confidence.

Secure transactions

Make the most of banking tools, such as letters of credit, to better secure your transactions with buyers abroad.

With the letters of credit, the buyer's bank commits to repay you if you send the shipping documents. So, you:

  • Reduce the risk of non-payment.
  • Enhance the credibility of your business and expand your international partnerships.

If you don’t know the bank of the buyer, you can ask your own bank to certify the letter of credit, i.e. to assume the obligation to pay you.

We stand by you every step of the way with comprehensive solutions for letters of credit and well-rounded trade finance solutions in partnership with UniCredit.

Financing and liquidity

As you expand your business internationally, your working capital needs are likely to increase.

You may also need to offer extended payment terms to foreign buyers to reach better deals.

Meet new orders and satisfy larger clients stress-free, by making the most of banking tools and solutions that boost the liquidity of your business:

By keeping daily operations well organised

To be able to commit to your goal.

For complete flexibility and control

Make the most of the online tools offered by banks to have control over your international transactions from your place of business or anywhere else.

Through our digital banking, you carry out secure transactions, get products online and keep track of your finances.

To make your business even easier, we have created the Web International Trade portal. Keep track of all your ongoing international trade transactions and submit online requests for simple exports.

If you collect in foreign currency

Depending on the agreement you have made with your buyers, your collections may be in another currency. Consider whether you need special tools to manage your cash flows, such as:

For security every step of the way

As you expand your business internationally, so do the risks you take on.

To deal with unforeseen events, you may insure your cargo against in-transit risks.
