TRADE FINANCE

Trade finance as a concept is normally defined as financing based on so-called trade finance instruments like letters of credit, guarantees and bills of exchange. Tenors are short- to medium term, i.e. typically from a few months and up to around 2 years.

By using e.g. a letter of credit as basis for a loan transaction, you achieve a very simple documentation compared with a loan agreement. This can save time and money and is therefore well suited for smaller transactions.
