Finance built around the trade cycle

International orders tie up cash for weeks between deposit and delivery. Our trade finance tools reduce that risk on both sides of the deal.

🔐

Secure Escrow Payments

Buyer funds are held in escrow and released to the supplier only once agreed milestones — shipment, inspection or delivery — are confirmed.

📄

Letters of Credit Support

We help prepare and check LC terms and shipping documents so discrepancies don’t delay payment or strand goods at port.

🏭

Pre-Shipment Finance

Verified suppliers can access working capital against confirmed purchase orders to buy raw materials and fund production.

🗓️

Buyer Payment Terms

Qualified buyers can request Net 30 / 60 / 90 terms on eligible orders, so inventory sells before the invoice is due.

💱

FX & Cross-Border Payments

Pay or get paid in USD and major trade currencies, with transparent conversion and guidance on hedging larger orders.

🛡️

Trade Credit Insurance

Protect receivables against buyer non-payment and political risk through our insurance partners.

How it works

From purchase order to payout

Agree the order

Buyer and supplier confirm specifications, price, Incoterms and payment milestones on the platform.

Choose a finance option

Select escrow, LC support, payment terms or supplier finance. We confirm eligibility, usually within 2–3 business days.

Fund & produce

The buyer funds escrow or the deposit; the supplier receives working capital where approved and begins production.

Ship & verify

Shipping documents are checked and, where agreed, goods are inspected before release of funds.

Settle

Funds are released to the supplier and the transaction record is stored in both parties’ portals.

Build your history

Every completed trade strengthens your profile and can unlock larger limits and better terms.
