Term Loans

The demands of business expansion and upgradation can put considerable pressure on a company's finances. This is the reason Axis Bank offers loans to corporations, including structured credit solutions to help you with your short-term and long-term fund requirements.

We offer Term Loans for infrastructure, project funding, real estate, and other corporate requirements. These loans are offered at competitive interest rates and are structured to enhance your business's profitability by scheduling repayment to match the cash flow available.

Corporate Loans - Trade Services

Axis Bank takes pride in being a leading provider of trade finance services, offering a wide range of solutions tailored to meet your export and import needs. Whether your business operates in manufacturing, trading, or services, we deliver customised trade services across industries, segments, and regions.

Our offerings include import financing, export financing, letters of credit, bank guarantees, collection services, and trade advisory services. Backed by a professional team of trade experts, we ensure quick document processing, comprehensive MIS, and timely updates to simplify your trade operations. With our support, you can focus on global expansion while we take care of your financial requirements.

We offer both buyers' and suppliers' credit. The financing is available in all major currencies.

We offer the following facilities in both local and foreign currencies.

  • Pre-shipment financing: This facility is offered to exporters as packing credit to enable them to finance the purchase or import of raw materials, processing, and packing of the goods meant for exports.
  • Post-shipment financing: Post-shipment credit is offered to exporters to finance their export sales receivables after the date of shipment of goods till the date of realisation of export proceeds.
  • Negotiation or discounting.
  • Advances against collection bills (AACB): This offering is in the form of a loan provided to exporters to bridge their working capital gap that exists before the export proceeds are realised. The rate for this advance is the same as the post-shipment rate for exports as prescribed from time to time by RBI. Once the export proceeds are realised, the loan is liquidated.

Whether you are an exporter or an importer, Axis Bank offers a gamut of services to meet your entire Letter of Credit requirement including Opening, Negotiating or Discounting, Advising, Confirming, Standby LC, Reimbursement and Foreign Exchange services. In addition to our overseas branches we also have an extensive correspondent bank network. We also structure complex Letters of credit to suit specific transaction requirements.

  • Advising Export Letters of Credit: One of the key offerings of the Bank under exports is advising Export Letters of Credits. These LCs are advised to the beneficiary most expeditiously and within a committed time period.
  • Confirmations of Letters of Credit: The bank also confirms letters of Credit for its customers. Once the bank has confirmed a letter of Credit, it steps into the shoes of the Issuing Bank. It therefore has no recourse to the exporter, once it provides post shipment credit and has recourse only to the issuing bank.

We offer a range of guarantees, including performance, financial, bid bonds, and more. Our guarantees are widely accepted by government agencies, capital market entities, and major corporations. Beyond locally issued guarantees, our alliances with overseas correspondent banks enable us to issue guarantees for global tenders, ensuring your business can seamlessly participate in international opportunities.

  • Local bill collections: Our nationwide branch network enables us to effectively process and follow up on your LC-backed and clean bills for collection.
  • International bill collections: We offer prompt and efficient collection services for imports, exports, and LC-based bills through our overseas branches and a wide correspondent bank network.
