Exporters  

Export Documentary Collections

Exporters can ask ANZ to arrange collection of export proceeds from overseas buyers on their behalf. This process facilitates the collection and return of proceeds in accordance with the exporter’s instructions.

We forward the relevant export documents, together with an appropriate Bill of Exchange, to an overseas ANZ Group branch or a correspondent bank in the buyer’s country. Documents are released to the buyer against payment (if a sight Bill of Exchange) or acceptance (if a term Bill of Exchange).

Payment is made to the exporter on receipt of proceeds by ANZ.

Key Features

ANZ acts as a collection agent, facilitating the transaction pending payment.


The exporter retains control of goods until payment or a promise to pay under an accepted term Bill of Exchange, is received. This means for term collections the buyer has control over the goods after acceptance, and the exporter is therefore reliant on the importers ability to pay on the future date.


The process is time-and-cost effective, enabling the exporter to focus on other core activities.

ANZ credit criteria apply, and an establishment fee may be payable. Other fees, charges, terms and conditions apply.

ANZ as Receiving Bank

As an importer, ANZ can receive and advise you of Collection documents received from your overseas suppliers. We can assist you through the Collection process, and remit funds to the overseas party on receipt of payment from you, or alternatively, advise acceptance of the Collection for subsequent payment on due date.

Upon payment or acceptance in terms of instructions received we can release the transport documentation, to allow you to collect your goods.
