A complex payment is resolved by choosing another lawful route. There are only a few instruments. Each is documented in a way your bank can follow in currency control.
Another agent from our pool
The simplest case is when a route has closed for one agent but works for another. We pick the agent whose route is open: you sign an agency agreement with it, and the payment goes under a new payment order.
Change of payer under an agreement of the parties
The parties to the contract sign an agreement: the payment is made by a third party named in it. This way, the money reaches the beneficiary from a payer its bank accepts. It works for both imports and exports, when the payer is not the buyer itself.
Assignment of claim (cession)
The exporter assigns the right to receive payment under the contract to a new creditor. The buyer pays the new creditor, and you receive roubles under the assignment agreement. Cession changes the settlement under the contract, so we work out how to reflect it in currency control before signing.
What we do not do
We do not change the description of the goods, the purpose of payment or the parties to the deal so that the documents differ from the actual transaction. We do not take payments without a foreign trade basis. A lawyer reviews every structure before the deal. If there is no lawful route, we say so before the deal and take no money.
