Trade Finance
Documentary credits, receivables discounting and structured pre-export finance — the paper behind physical trade flows.
Instruments & Structures
Every structure below is arranged in-house — no unmanaged hand-offs between issuing banks, confirming banks, insurers and collateral managers.
Irrevocable, bank-issued undertakings governed by UCP 600 and ISBP 821. We structure sight, usance and deferred-payment DLCs with confirming-bank support from Tier-1 correspondents in London, Frankfurt, Zurich, Dubai and Singapore.
Payment- and performance-standby letters of credit issued under ISP98 or UCP 600 through the counterparty's own bank to secure supply obligations, prepayments and long-tenor offtake commitments.
Advance-payment, payment, retention and bid-bond guarantees issued under URDG 758 through the counterparty's nominated bank, with counter-guarantee mechanics for cross-border tenders and government procurement.
Performance security typically at 5–10% of contract value, issued by A-rated banks or surety underwriters to guarantee delivery, quality and warranty obligations on long-dated supply and construction-linked offtake contracts.
Structured cash-against-delivery, milestone and standby-credit-secured prepayment facilities for producers requiring working capital ahead of lifting. Cash-flow waterfalls are aligned to loading, B/L and settlement events.
Borrowing-base, transactional and pre-export facilities backed by physical cargo, warehouse receipts and assignable receivables — arranged bilaterally or on a club basis with commodity-finance banks in Geneva, London, Dubai and Singapore.
True-sale and disclosed / undisclosed receivables purchase programmes with recourse and non-recourse structures, credit-insured by A-rated ECAs and private insurers. Ideal for stretching payment terms to end-buyers.
Cargo held under Collateral Management Agreements (CMA) or Stock Monitoring Agreements (SMA) with independent inspectors, financed against pledged warehouse receipts in bonded and free-circulation regimes.
Buyer-led payables programmes and supplier onboarding across multi-tier chains, with dynamic-discounting and confirmed-payables options for large industrial and government buyers.
In-house review of sale and purchase contracts, credit and guarantee wording and shipping documents — cross-checked against UCP 600, URDG 758, ISP98 and Incoterms 2020 before presentation. We do not transact on letter-of-intent, ICPO or full-corporate-offer chains.
Banking & Standards
We work only with issuing corridors, rulesets and collateral managers that our confirming banks and insurers already recognise.
