Every day counts when your MSC invoice is due. Use Clea to complete your payment to avoid demurrage, storage charges, and unnecessary delays.

With Clea, you don’t have to go through that.
Fund your account in Naira, convert to USD, and pay your MSC invoice from one secure platform. The process is simple, transparent, and designed to help you settle payments quickly so your cargo stays on schedule and your business avoids unnecessary costs.

Avoid Mistakes That Can Delay Your Shipment
A shipment can arrive on schedule and still end up delayed because of avoidable payment errors. Before you make your MSC freight payment, take a moment to check the details below.
Use the Correct Bill of Lading (BL) Number
Your Bill of Lading (BL) helps identify your shipment. An incorrect or missing BL number can make it harder for your payment to be matched to the right cargo.
Match the Payment Details Exactly
Always use the bank account details and payment instructions provided by MSC. Even small differences in account information or payment references can delay processing.
Don't Leave Payment Until the Deadline
Waiting until the last day increases the risk of delays caused by bank processing times or compliance checks. Paying early gives you more time to resolve any issues before they affect your shipment.
Check Your Invoice Before You Pay
Confirm that the invoice amount, currency, and reference number are correct before submitting your payment. A quick review can prevent unnecessary back-and-forth later.
Keep Your Payment Confirmation
Once you've completed your payment, save your confirmation and transaction record. It gives you proof of payment if you ever need to follow up or reconcile your shipping costs.
