Trade finance
Foreign currency overdraft - if you are an importer or exporter you can maintain an overdraft in most major currencies at competitive rates of interest. This is useful when you are unsure of the timing of your trade transactions. If you are an importer, an overdraft is useful to pay your supplier over the short term, or when exchange rates are unfavourable.
If you are an exporter, the overdraft is useful for financing smaller receivables over shorter terms, if you require an account to receive funds from buyers or for protection against unfavourable exchange rates.
Please check at your local branch if this service is available locally. If so, print the following form and send it to any Westpac branch (for details contact us).
