• Exchange

  J.P. Morgan offers transaction or purchase sale of foreign currency conducted by importers and exporters of goods and services.

• FEC/ACE

  J.P. Morgan provides lines of credit so that companies can stand out in the international market.

  In the FEC operation Forward Exchange Contracts, J.P. Morgan advances the amount in national currency equivalent to the value of exports in foreign currency, thus enabling the finance of goods production at a lower cost than any other resource on the local market.

  Through ACE (Advance against Draft Presentation), J.P. Morgan advances to exporters the amount agreed between the parties in the exchange contract after the shipment of goods. Such funding increases the competitiveness of a company as it enables better payment terms to its customers.

  The terms and conditions of funding should be analyzed according to each company’s needs. J.P. Morgan studies each individual case, always focusing on the specific company's needs.
  
   

  
• FINIMP

  This is a financing option for import. J.P. Morgan pays the exporter in cash in foreign currency and the importing company pays the bank with simplified terms.

  J.P. Morgan works with FINIMP Direct mode, where financing is granted directly by J.P. Morgan Offshore Brazil to a Brazilian importer. A company can quote different banks to obtain the best exchange closing rate on the principal and interest payment due date.
