Payment Methods for Construction Materials Export from Türkiye
Zerixa recommends T/T (telegraphic transfer / SWIFT bank transfer) for construction materials exported from Türkiye. Buyers receive a proforma invoice, wire payment to our Turkish export account, and shipment proceeds with full documentation. T/T is faster, lower-cost, and more transparent than documentary credit. LC at sight is available on request for qualifying project tenders where the buyer's bank requires it.
T/T (Telegraphic Transfer / Bank Transfer) — Recommended
- Secure SWIFT wire to Zerixa's Turkish export bank account
- Proforma invoice issued before payment — clear terms, no surprises
- Typical structure: 30% advance + 70% before shipment, or 100% against documents
- Faster settlement, lower bank fees, and straightforward tracking
- Best for most international buyers — first orders and repeat orders
