International Factoring

International Factoring

Overview

In collaboration with factoring companies around the world, we conduct credit checks of overseas customers (buyers) and guarantee payment. In the past, letters of credit were mainly used to safely and smoothly conduct export transactions. However, money transfers that do not require letters of credit are increasingly being used because letters of credit are time-consuming and expensive. With our international factoring service, you can safely and reliably collect payments on a remittance basis because factoring companies around the world collaborate to secure export receivables.

International Factoring Network

We, the Mitsubishi UFJ Factors Limited, are a member of FCI.
This association is mainly comprised of the world leading banks and the subsidiaries of these banks.
