Bank Introductions for Trade Finance
Securing the right banking counterpart is often the difference between a signed facility and a failed deal. Financely provides formal introductions to international banks that issue, confirm, and discount letters of credit, as well as those active in receivables purchase and inventory financing. We do not rely on informal channels. Every introduction is aligned to client sector, jurisdiction, and facility size, and accompanied by vetted documentation and compliance protocols.
“They opened the door to a top-tier confirming bank. Without Financely’s introduction and structuring, our LC program would never have been approved.”
