Assess the best method of payment for your transaction

Introduction

When deciding how you should ask your customer to pay you, there are a number of factors to take into consideration, such as the customer's creditworthiness, trading conditions in their country and your business' financial strength.

This interactive tool will help you assess which method of payment may be best suited to each individual export transaction. It will assess the overall risk of the deal, some aspects of which you may not have considered, and provide you with information on the payment method you should consider using in each case.

You will answer no more than eight questions. Go straight to the first question.

This tool is not a substitute for professional advice.
