Trade Finance

.01 Context

Currently, because it is costly to use trade finance systems, particularly in emerging countries, companies find it difficult to sell their products and get paid on regional or international markets.. However, digitalization can facilitate their global collaboration, allow them to get into trade finance, have access to decentralized finance and reduce their costs.

Many documents are still physically sent using a courier and the cost of digital collaboration systems allowing scanning and examination of documents are prohibitive. Banks, financial institutions, companies are therefore losing customers, struggling to service import and export transactions.

Many banks today need the physical presence of their customer with their specialist, requiring a large number of specialized staff and wasted time examining numerous documents.
