📄 COLLECTING BANK
US Capital Private Bank Knowledge Base
📖 What is a Collecting Bank?
A Collecting Bank is a financial institution that acts as an agent for the remitting bank (the bank sending the collection request) in handling collections of payments from the buyer or drawee.
⚙️ How Does It Work?
-
The collecting bank demands payment from the buyer on behalf of the remitting bank.
-
Once payment is received, the collecting bank processes the funds according to instructions from the remitting bank.
-
Typically, the funds collected are sent back to the remitting bank.
-
The collecting bank does not take ownership of the funds; it merely facilitates the transaction.
💡 Why Use a Collecting Bank?
-
Helps manage payment collections in locations where the remitting bank does not have a direct presence.
-
Provides local expertise and a trusted point of contact for buyers.
-
Facilitates smooth processing and transfer of funds internationally.
-
Reduces risk and improves efficiency for remitting banks.
⚠️ Important Considerations
-
The collecting bank acts strictly as an agent and does not assume payment liability.
-
The remitting bank retains responsibility for the funds and the collection arrangement.
-
Effective communication between remitting and collecting banks is essential to avoid delays.
