Liquid Trade Finance
Powered by member-driven automation and standardisation
Creating the blueprint for global trade finance distribution
The main innovations in trade in over the past 100 years can be linked to standardisation. Making its debut in the 1960's, the shipping container set a new standard for moving global trade, dramatically increasing trade flows and reducing costs.
Trade finance - made accessible
The container inspired us. We aim to make trade finance a liquid asset class through world-class automation and standardisation, enabling great cost efficiency and real-time processing.
