Trade Finance Approval Workflow

Automating the trade finance approval process results in streamlined international transactions and reduces financial risks.

Why automate?

The trade finance approval process involves optimizing international trade transactions, letters of credit, trade credits, and financing exports. Finance experts assess trading partners’ creditworthiness by verifying trade documents and getting approvals from finance and risk management teams.
