Back-to-Back Commodity Financing Solutions

Back-to-Back Commodity Financing Solutions

We arrange back-to-back financing for commodity transactions, enabling traders to purchase goods from a supplier and sell to an end buyer under separate contracts without tying up significant working capital. These facilities are ideal for established traders managing large, margin-protected trades where timing between purchase and sale needs bridging.

Our Advantage: Through our lender and bank network, we secure back-to-back trade credit structures globally, covering physical commodities such as metals, energy products, and agricultural goods. We manage the full lifecycle — from structuring to funding — to ensure smooth execution.

What is Back-to-Back Financing?

Back-to-back financing involves securing a purchase contract from a supplier and an onward sales contract with a buyer, then arranging funding to pay the supplier using the buyer’s contract as collateral or repayment source. It’s commonly used in commodity trading to bridge payment timelines and reduce liquidity pressure.
