Trade Finance

Trade finance refers to the financial instruments and processes that companies use to facilitate international trade. It helps businesses manage the risks and costs associated with buying and selling goods across borders. This includes services such as letters of credit, which provide payment assurance to sellers, and trade credit, where suppliers allow buyers to delay payment. By ensuring that transactions are secure, timely, and reliable, trade finance enhances global commerce, enabling businesses to expand their reach and optimize cash flow while minimizing risks associated with international transactions.
