What does a subscription to Open Borders Direct® offer you?
For just £25 plus VAT a month your subscription to OBD® will bring you a unique opportunity to support all your international trade interests in one place. This gives you access to a brilliant range of innovative solutions that will support your importing and exporting at great rates; not available elsewhere.
- Our Due Diligence service in over 200 jurisdictions with 2 full reports, 2 refreshes and 2 PEP, Sanctions and Adverse Media reports EVERY month.
- Free access to our Digitised Incoterms®2020 tools with a slider to see the variables at a glance and our Incoterms®2020 tool that will guide you to the term which is best for the transaction you’re working – all laid out in easy-to-understand phrasing. It gives you what that trading term means in respect of your obligations as the buyer or the seller to avoid any surprises.
- Free and invaluable Risk Report for each consignment or market you want to record for external purposes or to demonstrate to your board/bank or oversight committee that you’ve covered key risks for any given transaction.
- Access to our financial tools EQPay virtual FX Bank accounts as an easy way to sell in another currency or pay commissions or suppliers in other markets.
- Access to our SME Digital Vault system at a reduced rate to eliminate all those concerns about dealing with Letters of Credit – this system provides you with an easy digital escrow style way of allowing your customer to lodge the payment with a trusted third party against conditions of payment that are set by both parties. This provides secure protection, speed and a much-reduced rate than Letters of Credit.
- Finally, and probably most importantly, we offer 4 x 15-minute questions from the ‘Ask Lesley’ online help EVERY MONTH, on top of the ones the Lesley Bot can answer. (Subsequent questions will be charged at £18.50 rather than £25 as a guest.)
