HOW IT WORKS

From shipment to settlement.

Trade transaction reviewedWe review the shipment, counterparty and payment terms behind the transaction.

Structure matched to the tradeThe right instrument — import financing, an LC-backed facility, or a structured payment solution — is matched to how the deal is shaped.

Facility arranged with the bankTerms, tenor and pricing are negotiated with the bank on your behalf.

Documentation coordinatedShipping, customs and banking documentation are aligned so the facility draws down without delay.

Drawn down & settledFunds are released against the agreed documents, and the facility is settled as trade proceeds are collected.

A NOTE FROM THE DESK

“Cross-border trade lives or dies on documentation and timing. We sit between you and the bank so the paperwork keeps pace with the shipment, not the other way around.”

FREQUENTLY ASKED

Common questions.

What counts as a trade finance facility?

Any structured financing or payment mechanism tied to the movement of goods across borders — from import financing against a letter of credit to a receivables-backed working capital line.

Do I need an existing relationship with the bank?

Not necessarily — we can introduce you to a suitable panel bank as part of arranging the facility, though an existing relationship can speed up approval.

How is pricing determined?

Margin and terms are set case-by-case, based on transaction size, tenor, counterparty and the security offered — we negotiate this with the bank on your behalf.
