The Financing of Commerce

All economic activities are based on the barter principle - the suppliers of goods and services receive payment, and the payers receive goods and services in turn. That is the only way in which an economy, based on the division of function, can exist.
In international trade this process of exchanging good and services is complicated and risky, not only because of technical problems connected with the movement of goods and monies across the borders, but also because of questions as to the ability of buyers and sellers to fulfill their obligations.
It is for these reasons that SEB banka offers financing services, which substantially reduce the risks of international trade transactions.
