Bank Introductions for Trade Finance

KYC-ready packaging and targeted introductions for operating companies seeking transactional banking, LC issuance, and cash management. We align dossiers with bank policy, map viable corridors, and manage submissions to decision makers.

We prepare a complete onboarding pack, identify banks with appetite by jurisdiction and sector, and coordinate applications for account opening and trade facilities. The objective is practical access to MT700 issuance, confirmations, collections, and day to day payments with clear controls. All outcomes remain subject to bank approval.
