Your bank said no.
We say yes.

If you import goods and your bank won't issue a Letter of Credit — or the process is too slow, too expensive, or simply out of reach — we have been solving exactly this problem from Hong Kong for nearly 50 years.

Decisions

Sound familiar?

Banks turn away good importers every single day.

You have a real supplier. A real order ready to ship. But your bank says the deal is too small, the supplier is unknown to them, or the paperwork is too complex. This is not a reflection of your business — it is a reflection of how banks work. We exist specifically for this gap.

Too small for the bank

Banks set minimum thresholds that exclude most small and mid-size importers. Your shipment value should not determine whether you can trade internationally.

Supplier unknown to your bank

Your bank has never heard of your overseas supplier. We have spent nearly 50 years building relationships across Asia — we can verify what your bank cannot.

Rejected without explanation

Banks decline trade finance applications constantly, often without a clear reason. We make fast, transparent decisions based on the deal — not an algorithm.

Too slow for your supplier

Your supplier needs payment commitment before they ship. Bank processes take weeks. We move faster — because we understand how international trade works.

Simple and secure

How a Letter of Credit works with us

You contact us

Tell us what you are importing, from which supplier, and the value of the order. We respond quickly with a clear answer.

We structure the LC

Using our Hong Kong banking relationships, we structure and issue a Letter of Credit on your behalf. Your supplier gets a secure payment guarantee.

Goods are shipped

Your supplier ships the goods and presents the required documents. Payment is triggered automatically — no disputes, no delays.

You receive your goods

Your shipment arrives. You settle with us on agreed terms. Clean, documented, and secure from start to finish.

Why choose us

Est. 1977.
Nearly 50 years
of getting it done.

Chase International Exports Limited was founded in 1977 by Ashok Pritmani, who spent decades building trade relationships across South America and Southeast Asia. What started as a trading business became a trade finance operation built on one principle — that good importers deserve financing, even when banks say no.

Nearly 50 years later, that is still what we do. We are part of the Chase Group of Companies, with operations spanning trade finance, consumer products, real estate, and offices in Latin America.
