Trade Finance

Protecting your business is our business

International trade can be both a challenging and richly rewarding business – but it’s not without risk. As well as contractual and commercial conditions, factors such as political, economic and transfer risk all have a bearing on whether trade transactions are secure and profitable. That is why protecting your business against the unique and complex risks associated with international trade, particularly in emerging markets, is our priority.

Our highly experienced Trade Finance specialists work closely with you in helping to identify and manage any trading exposure you may be faced with. We combine our in-depth knowledge of your requirements with a wide suite of Trade Finance instruments in developing the right Trade Finance solution for your business.

Our Trade Finance team can help you face the challenges associated with:

  • Making payments effectively and easily
  • Securing export contracts
  • Securing payment for export goods
  • Being competitive by offering extended credit terms
  • Obtaining competitive finance without relying on existing bank facilities
  • Securing delivery of imported goods
  • Improving cash flow on your payment receivables
