Short-Term Working Capital Loan
China Bank offers a wide range of Short-Term Working Capital Loans to assist you in leveraging your existing assets and meet your working capital needs, whether you need them to improve your cash flow or support your daily operations.

Export loans and advances. With the help of this facility, corporate clients in the export industry can get pre-export financing for buying raw materials and covering overhead costs.
Exported bills acquired. This facility enables corporate clients to assign or sell to the bank either “on the collection” or by outright purchase to obtain operating capital for the subsequent export shipment.
Letters of credit for Imports. Using the Bank’s letters of credit as security enables the client to buy raw materials both locally and internationally.
Trust receipts for domestic letters of credit. The client can sell the items entrusted to them, thanks to the trust receipt.
Loan for receivables purchase. By selling or assigning its receivables to the bank, a client can use a receivable purchase loan to maintain the liquidity and manageability of its money.
Credit line. Clients can access money through a loan line for needs related to general working capital.
Omnibus line. An omnibus line allows customers to use various lending or trade services.
