Bridge Trade Finance Driven by Humans Not Algorithms

Bridge Trade Finance Driven by Humans Not Algorithms

Bridge Trade Finance Driven by Humans Not Algorithms

When a shipment window is closing or a supplier refuses your bank, a scorecard will not save the day. People will. Our team speaks with your counterparties, your bank, the confirmer, the inspector, and the warehouse. We fix wording, align timelines, and structure credit that works in the real world.

Outcome: a funded bridge tailored to your trade flow, with clear fees, named bank routes, and dates you can plan around.

Why Human Led Bridge Finance Works

Messy files still close
We clean LC wording, reconcile SPA terms, and get the confirmer comfortable.
Urgent timelines
We call decision makers and move files while others wait for portals to update.
Non standard collateral
Revenue pledges, counter guarantees, warehouse control. We build packages banks accept.
Many parties one deal
Issuing bank, advising bank, confirmer, SGS, freight, warehouse. We keep everyone aligned.

What We Fund on a Bridge Basis

Confirmed LC bridge
Short gap while confirmation is added or amended. Clean wording provided.
SBLC and guarantees
Payment, performance, and advance guarantees with sensible collateral mixes.
UPAS and import usance
Seller paid at sight while you take 90 to 180 day terms that match receivables.
Post shipment cash
Discounting and forfaiting on deferred LCs and avalised bills for fast liquidity.

How We Decide in Plain English

Counterparty behavior Do they answer, commit, and meet dates Escalate to senior bankers and set dated next steps
Document quality LC, SPA, inspection, insurance, BoL alignment Redline wording and fix presentation windows
Logistics reality Port cutoffs, laycan, and inspection slots Match dates to banks that can clear on time
Cash conversion How quickly proceeds repay the bridge Right-size tenor and reserves so cash comes back clean
