1. The main risks associated with different payment methods used in international trade
include the risk of non-payment, fraud risk, exchange rate risk, and regulatory compliance
risk. These risks can be mitigated by using instruments such as letters of credit, bank
guarantees, credit insurance, and conducting proper due diligence on counterparties.

2. A letter of credit is an irrevocable commitment from a bank to pay a seller for goods or
services, subject to the presentation of compliant documents. A bank transfer involves a
direct electronic transfer of funds from one account to another. Documentary collection
involves the bank acting as an intermediary to collect payment from the buyer before
releasing documents to the buyer. Each method has its advantages and disadvantages in
terms of security, cost, and complexity.

3. Exchange rate fluctuations can impact international transactions by increasing the cost of
imported goods or reducing export revenues. To manage these risks, companies can use
forward contracts, currency options, or hedging strategies to protect against unfavorable
exchange rate movements.
4. International rules and regulations governing international financial transactions include
rules from the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), rules from the World Trade
Organization (WTO), and national regulations on exchange controls and economic sanctions.
These regulations can influence the choice of payment method based on specific
requirements.

5. To negotiate favorable payment terms in an international transaction, it is important to


establish clear and mutually acceptable terms from the outset, assess the creditworthiness of
the business partner, and use guarantees or insurance to protect against non-payment risks.

6. Financial services such as standby letters of credit or bank guarantees can be used to secure
international payments by providing a payment guarantee in case of default by the buyer or
seller. These instruments can enhance trust between parties and reduce risks associated with
international transactions.

7. Digital payment solutions and cryptocurrencies offer benefits such as speed, security, and
reduced transaction fees in international trade. However, they also present risks related to
price volatility, data security, and regulatory compliance.

8. Compliance with anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing regulations is


essential in the context of international payments to prevent illicit activities and protect the
integrity of the financial system. Measures such as verifying the identity of parties,
monitoring suspicious transactions, and maintaining adequate records are necessary to
comply with these regulations.
