Specialists

Our team specialises in cross-border financing of trade flows and we offer both general trade services products such as guarantees and letters of credit, and short and medium term finance including Pre-Export, Borrowing Base, Warehouse and bespoke Commodity Transactional structures.

We have access to a wide pool of specialists in complementary areas such as project finance for petrochemicals and energy infrastructure. We also have close links with our local corporate banking colleagues who offer a full suite of corporate banking solutions.


Structured Commodity Trade Finance

Transactional short term self liquidating financing of commodity flows from the point goods have been sold until repayment.

Borrowing Base Finance

Extends Commodity Trade Finance by lending against a renewing pool of short-term security consisting of receivables and liquid commodity stock.


Pre-Export Financing

Takes Borrowing Base finance a step closer to the development or production stage. Pre-export finance is designed to support companies finance the production costs associated with their export contracts.

Capital Goods Export Finance

Financing aimed at exporters of capital goods or services, such as heavy machinery. Principally long-term and often multilateral, ECA (Export Credit Agency), sovereign or high level private insurance guaranteed, against long term off-take agreements. This can also take the form of Project Finance.
