Empowering Exporters with Timely Liquidity

Secure the working capital for procuring , manufacturing, and packing your goods for the global market.

Pre-shipment Finance is a specialized working capital loan provided to exporters to fund the "preparation phase" of an export order. At Bharat Bank, we extend pre-shipment export finance to you against confirmed order or L/C. This helps you to procure, manufacture, process and package your export consignment. We bridge the financial gap between receiving a confirmed order and actually shipping the goods. This credit is designed to cover all costs related to purchasing raw materials, manufacturing, processing, and packaging, ensuring that your production cycle remains uninterrupted and your global commitments are met on time.
