We handle contract payments from review to closing documents

Before payment, we check the contract and invoice for everything a payment needs to go through. For each payment in the series, we select an agent from our pool and fix the terms before your roubles are debited. At the end, you have a complete set of documents for the contract. You don't pay separately for this support.

Where we start with your contract

Two questions, an answer right away

Where are you with the contract?
How many payments?

Review before payment

We'll look at the contract and invoice and note what to fix with the supplier before the payment. The terms go into the payment order before your roubles are debited.

Send the contract for review

One broker for the whole contract

All contract payments in one place

Advance, payment after shipment, payments under specifications. Each payment goes under its own payment order, and we see the contract as a whole: how much has been paid, what remains and which documents are missing.

  1. Your account in Russia
  2. Agent from our pool
  3. Supplier

A check before the first payment

We read the contract and invoice the way the bank and the agent will read them. We tell you what to fix with the supplier while your roubles are still in your account, not after the payment has stalled.

No separate charge

Support is part of the deal. The broker's fee is paid by the executing agent. You pay the agent's fee as written in the payment order.

What we check in the contract and invoice

A bank or agent stops a payment when the documents say different things. We check these points before payment.

  • Parties and details

    The beneficiary's name, country, bank and account on the invoice match the contract. If the supplier asks you to pay another company's account, you need a contract addendum.

  • Subject and purpose of payment

    It is clear what you are paying for: goods, a service, an advance or payment after delivery. The purpose of payment states the contract and invoice numbers and dates. The beneficiary's bank may reject vague wording like “payment under agreement”.

  • Amount and currency

    The payment currency matches the contract currency. The total of all payments does not exceed the contract and specification amounts. If it does, the addendum comes first, then the payment.

  • Payment terms and validity

    The contract states when to pay: in advance, after shipment or on a schedule. The contract is valid on the payment date. A payment under an expired contract will raise questions at the bank.

  • Specifications and addenda

    If you pay under a specification, it is signed, and the invoice refers to it. We have all contract addenda before the payment, not after the bank asks.

How we run the contract

From the document check to the closing set. The terms of each payment are written down before your roubles are debited.

  1. Contract and invoice check

    You send the contract, specifications and invoice. We note what to fix with the supplier before the first payment.

  2. Agreement with the agent

    We select an agent from our pool with a working route to the supplier's country. One agency agreement covers the whole contract. The execution term is written into it.

  3. A payment order for each payment

    The amount, currency, beneficiary, rate and fee are fixed in the payment order before your roubles are debited.

  4. Payment confirmation

    Once the payment is sent, we send you a confirmation, with a SWIFT confirmation on request. If the supplier cannot see the money, we trace it with the agent using the payment documents.

  5. Closing documents

    For each payment, the agent's report and completion certificate. At the end, a reconciliation for the contract: how much has been paid and which documents confirm it. Plus a set for currency control and your accountants.

A series of payments under one contract

A contract is rarely paid in a single payment. There is one agreement with the agent, and each payment goes under its own payment order. We make sure the total of the series matches the contract.

Agency agreement: the agent from our pool and the execution term

  1. Advance

    before shipment, against a prepayment invoice

    Payment order 1: its own rate and fee
  2. Payment after shipment

    against the invoice and shipping documents

    Payment order 2: its own rate and fee
  3. Payments under specifications

    each specification under its own payment order

    Payment order 3: its own rate and fee

If the route to the supplier's country closes between payments, we arrange the next payment through another agent from our pool. Its terms are again fixed before your roubles are debited.

We handle the payment side of the contract. We do not handle negotiations with the supplier, claims, customs or taxes. If the contract needs changes, we'll tell you exactly what, and you agree the wording with the supplier and your lawyer.

Questions about contract support

How much does contract support cost?

You pay nothing separately. The broker's fee is paid by the executing agent. You pay the agent's fee under the payment order: from 0.9% for a supplier payment, with the final fee fixed before your roubles are debited.

Do you draft the contract with the supplier?

No. We look at the payment side: details, subject, amount, currency and payment terms. We tell you what to fix so that the payment passes the checks. You agree the contract wording with the supplier and your lawyer.

Payments have already been made under the contract. Can you join midway?

Yes. Send us the contract, the addenda and the documents for past payments. We'll reconcile how much has been paid and run the remaining payments.

What if there is an error in the invoice?

We'll tell you before payment exactly what does not match the contract. The supplier corrects the invoice, and only then is the payment order signed and the roubles debited.

Is there one agreement for all payments?

Yes, one agency agreement per contract. Each payment goes under a separate payment order with its own rate and fee. If the agent has to be changed, the terms with the new agent are again fixed before debiting.

What is fixed in the documents?

The network company and the execution period are written in the agency agreement, and the rate and fee of each payment in its payment order. On request, the roubles wait for execution in a special escrow account at a Russian bank, for an additional fee.
