Trade Finance | Lender Matching | Underwriting And Distribution
AI-Powered Trade Finance Platform
Most trade finance requests fail for one reason: the file is not underwritable.
Lenders do not fund narratives. They fund controlled transactions with verifiable counterparties, documents, and repayment mechanics.
Financely is an AI-powered decisioning platform for commercial trade finance.
Borrowers upload deal documents, we underwrite to lender standards, match the deal to appropriate lenders, and run tracked distribution to written outcomes.
What This Platform Does
Borrower Intake That Produces A Lender-Grade File
- Structured upload of contracts, invoices, shipping terms, and KYB
- Automated checklist and missing-item flags
- AI-assisted extraction of key terms and transaction economics
- Human underwriting review and normalization
The output is not “information.” It is a submission package that can survive credit committee.
Lender Matching And Controlled Distribution
- Lender fit scoring based on ticket size, product, jurisdiction, and structure
- Curated outreach list with mandate alignment
- Two structured submission waves with tracked status
- Q&A routing and response control
You get a decisioning process that converts “maybe” into term sheets or documented declines.
Who It Is For
Best fit:
post-revenue trading and importing businesses with repeatable trade flows, documented counterparties, and a real need for working capital, prepayment finance, inventory finance, receivables finance, or documentary trade instruments.
If your transaction relies on unverifiable suppliers, unclear ownership, missing contracts, or vague cash flows, lenders will decline.
The platform is built to force clarity early.
Supported Use Cases
Transaction Finance
- Import and export working capital
- Prepayment finance and supplier advances
- Structured commodity purchase facilities
- Borrowing base and inventory-linked facilities
Documentary Trade Instruments
- Documentary letters of credit
- Standby letters of credit linked to a real obligation
- Performance and payment instruments where required
- Collateral and control structures to satisfy issuers
How The Platform Workflow Runs
- Upload And Triage:
you upload transaction documents and KYB. The system issues a deal-specific checklist and flags missing items.
- KYC, KYB, And Transaction Reality Checks:
counterparties, flow of funds, shipment logic, and documentary requirements are validated for lender fit.
- Underwriting Memo Build:
we produce a lender-ready memo with sources and uses, repayment path, controls, and risk mitigants.
- Lender Fit Matrix:
we map the deal to lenders and products that match size, geography, risk profile, and structure.
- Distribution And Q&A:
submissions are launched, questions are routed through one channel, and updates are tracked.
- Term Sheet Normalization:
term sheets are compared in a structured matrix so you can choose the best executable option.

Decisioning Guarantee
Process guarantee, not a funding guarantee:
if, after outreach launch, you do not receive at least one written term sheet or a written decline within 21 business days, we extend outreach and follow-ups until written outcomes are obtained, or we credit the next mandate’s start milestone for the same client.
This is conditioned on timely delivery of required documents, accurate disclosures, and reasonable cooperation with lender Q&A.

Important:

We do not promise approvals or funding.
Where licensing is required for execution, we coordinate execution through appropriately licensed counterparties under their approvals.
FAQ
Is This A Marketplace Where Anyone Can Upload Anything?
No. The platform is underwriting-driven. Uploading documents is the start. The deal must be verifiable, financeable, and structured for lender criteria before distribution.
Do You Blast The Deal To Hundreds Of Lenders?
No. We run matched outreach to lenders whose mandates fit your size, product, jurisdiction, and control profile. Random distribution damages credibility and wastes time.
Do You Provide The Funds?
No. Financely packages and underwrites the transaction, matches it to suitable lenders, and runs controlled decisioning to written outcomes.
What If My Bank Requires Cash Collateral For An LC Or SBLC?
Many issuers require cash collateral depending on credit profile, country risk, and transaction structure. In some cases, alternative issuers or structures can reduce collateralization requirements.
The correct answer is deal-specific and depends on controls, collateral, and counterparty strength.
