Avizo

    Providing a limit based on the limit granted for Avízo

    By using of Avízo, we are able to settle the trade even faster after it is closed - we do not wait for the client to credit the payment.

    It significantly speeds up the settlement of payments between the client's accounts and AKCENTA CZ accounts in cases where the accounts are not held at the same bank.

    With its use, the deadline for crediting funds to both the clients' own bank accounts and the accounts of foreign business partners is usually reduced by one working day.

    Example

    A client has accounts in a bank where AKCENTA CZ does not have accounts. The client wants to convert and pay money to his German business partner. Without the use of Avízo, the client would send CZK from his account from this bank to one of AKCENTA CZ's Czech accounts and only after crediting this account would the exchange and foreign payment be made. With the use of Avízo, the client only sends an electronic document that he has made a payment from his account in the given bank to the account of AKCENTA CZ and at that moment the foreign payment is already entered and executed. Therefore, we do not wait for the actual crediting of funds, we only need a pre-arranged proof from electronic banking that the payment is made.

    • In order to ensure that the payment is made in the shortest possible time, maximum times for entering payments (Cut of Time, CoT) must be observed.
    • In order to use Avízo, it is necessary that the client has an Avízo limit set by AKCENTA CZ, which clearly defines the maximum volume of all transactions opened in the Avízo mode.

    Limit on Avízo

    Based on financial and non-financial criteria, the client is granted or not granted an Alert Limit.

    Conditions for setting the limit on Avízo:

    A concluded framework contract in AKCENTA CZ including open Internal payment accounts (IPA).

    • Signed relevant Amendment to the framework contract.
    • Submission of the balance sheet and profit and loss account for the last 3 accounting periods in full.
    • Approval of the payment confirmation template(s) issued by the client's bank.

    Fees associated with the use of Avízo:

    Fee for using the limit for Avízo - see the Pricelist or individual pricing program. In the event of failure to credit the amount (by fulfilling the commitment of the limit provided on the basis of Avízo) by the 5th business day, a daily penalty interest of 0.07% from the date of expiry of the time limit until the commitment is fully paid is assessed.
