Trade Finance

An exporter of goods runs the risk that they are never paid for goods that are shipped. To eliminate that risk they can require pre-payment, but that shifts the risk onto the importer.
Overseas trade also comes with inherent risks, for example, exchange rate fluctuations, legal issues, language differences and the potential for political instability. Furthermore, it’s trickier for parties to evaluate the credit risk of their counterparts when they’re based overseas.
Trade finance steps in to guarantee payment and shipment, provided certain conditions are met.
