United Kingdom - Methods of PaymentUnited Kingdom - Methods of Payment
Although the UK economy is recovering, many UK importers are carefully considering their purchases and may seek special trade finance arrangements.
Normal practice has been for payments to be made on open account, payment in advance, letter of credit, documentary draft, or consignment. British buyers will typically ask for credit on 60, 90, or 180 day terms, depending on what is accepted practice in the industry.
