Trade Finance Dealflow
Lenders don’t need more teasers. You need fundable
transactions with clean counterparties, real collateral, and repayment that lands in a controlled account. That’s what we send. Financely generates trade finance dealflow that credit teams can approve without hand-holding or drama.
Snapshot: We pre-underwrite trades in energy, metals, agri, and chemicals; enforce title and cash control; lock documents and insurance; and package the file so a loan officer can clear it in one pass. Only transactions that pass our screen reach your desk.

seeking short-tenor, self-liquidating assets with documented controls.
- Confirming banks and forfaiters
that want clean paper under UCP600/URC/ISP98 with clear discrepancy rules.
- Credit insurers and brokers

FAQ
Do you send raw leads?
No. We send lender-grade files that have passed our screen and are ready for a credit process.
How do you avoid conflicts?
Clear mandates and routing. Each opportunity is matched to a short list of lenders with appetite for the product, corridor, and size. We don’t spam.
What’s the typical hit rate?
It depends on corridor and counterparty quality. The point of our screen is to raise the approval rate by removing weak files before they waste anyone’s time.
Can you work with confirming banks and insurers?
Yes. Where confirmation or credit insurance improves economics or country limits, we build it in—only with wording and claims paths that hold up.
What about pricing?
Pricing follows risk and effort. When title and cash are locked and documents are tight, price sharpens. We do not dress up weak files to chase a number.
You want dealflow you can book. Send your appetite grid—commodity, corridor, tenor, ticket size—and we’ll route only the files that fit. No noise.
All opportunities are subject to independent KYC, sanctions checks, credit approval, and final documentation by the funding parties. We do not support transferable SBLC “programs” or schemes promising outsized weekly returns.
