Drawing Against Uncleared Bank Cheques
From time to time, a customer may be in need of temporary accommodation to overdraw his account with the bank. This facility allows the customer to draw funds from their account against instruments in clearing.

Overdraft Facilities
An Overdraft Facility is a line of credit which allows a customer write cheques for more than the actual balance on the customer's account with a finance charge on the excess. Simply put, it is an open credit, which can be used repeatedly until the balance on the account reaches a pre-arranged limit with a specific repayment date, usually one year.

• Revolving Credit Facilities
  A Revolving Credit Facility is usually structured as short-term facility where the customer repays each drawing by a fixed period of time, usually from 30 to 180 days. The customer may re-borrow sums as needed up to the limit of the facility. This facility is usually for companies in stable industries with strong financial planning systems and is usually used for financing a company's permanent working capital. The facility tenor usually may not exceed 3 years.

  Invoice Discounting is undertaken either on a confidential basis or on disclosed basis. Under the confidential basis, no notice of the bank's interest in the debt is given to the debtor. Under the disclosed basis, a notification is given to the debtor of the assignment of the debts to the bank.
