your latest Member Catalogue
details.
In short
If you have not yet done so, you should now write to the Secretariat with the details of your company along the lines of the catalogue sheets of other members.
The basic details of every FCI member are listed in the FCI Member Catalogue. If you have not yet done so, you should now write to the Secretariat with the details of your company along the lines of the catalogue sheets of other members.
For “General Correspondence”, we suggest only one name of a full-time (international) factoring officer or manager. There is space for a second name, but ideally just one person should be fully responsible for this task. A title, a direct telephone number and a personal e-mail address are essential for the General Correspondence person.
For “Contacts”, we suggest one to four names (maximum). These are the persons who deal on a day-to-day basis with the actual processing of the invoices, the edifactoring.com operations, the routine questions regarding payments, disputes, etc. Normally, the “Contacts” persons are operational people, reporting to the more senior “General Correspondence” person. They should be identified with a title or function description and again with their e-mail addresses and direct telephone numbers.
For “Management”, we suggest one or two names (maximum) of people who are senior executives of the factoring activity in your organisation. For a factoring company that is normally the President or the Managing Director, for a bank member that is normally the General Manager or Head of the Trade Finance Department (or similar). The listed “Management” person(s) will only be contacted by the FCI Secretariat or by your future correspondents for major issues, including major problems.
They must fully understand what goes on in international factoring, but they are not expected to know the details of all the operational issues. They carry ultimate responsibility for the success (or lack of it!) of the factoring company or factoring division. An FCI Annual Meeting is normally attended by one person from “Management” accompanied by the “General Correspondence” person (normally the International Factoring Manager).
Please remember to keep the Secretariat informed about any changes in your Member Catalogue details. This is best done by sending to the Secretariat a copy of the original text with clear instructions about the changes.
