Francisco J. Almanza Guerra, LCB Intera Trade & Customs Services
I have been working in the Merlin program since its inception and working in partnership with Avalon Risk Management for over 20 years. The Merlin program is available 24/7 and is very user friendly with multiple features. My customers are so happy that their bonds are on file within minutes. Very high level of customer service and support. Avalon and Avalon Canada have amazing teams that I am so happy to work with. I would highly recommend teaming up with them as a provider of US Bonds and Canadian Importer Bonds.
