Documentary Collections and URC 522: Are you meeting your staff and customers' needs?


A lack of understanding of basic trade finance leads to inefficient work and poor customer service.

If you neglect basic training you will lose customers to competitors and create dissatisfied and unmotivated staff.

Here is your opportunity to provide your staff with structured online training in Documentary Collections to ensure they have a firm foundation in trade finance work and the skills to meet your customers’ needs.

Introducing Collections Online Training

Collections Online Training is designed to provide your staff with the basics in trade finance, while also providing an in-depth knowledge of collections processes and the ICC's Uniform Rules for Collections, URC 522.

It is the only ICC-Approved online training in Collections processes and URC 522.

What are the benefits of Collections Online Training for you?


Consistent/Standardised Training


In many instances, workers new to Documentary Collections learn their trade on-the-job from "junior" colleagues.
