Trade and export finance

Know-how and experience along the supply chain

Global trade and export finance is as far-reaching, multi-faceted and complex as the global supply chains it supports. We can help you along the whole path, from advising clients and structuring transactions to handling documentary credits, collections, guarantees or standby letters of credit.

Why it pays to work with us

Global coverage

Our services

Market intelligence / Decision support

The decision to outsource parts of the value chain may result in a certain loss of know-how. We are one of the leading providers for trade and export finance education in Switzerland, a partner of Swiss Export and have the competence to ensure the required product know-how. Your client advisors can further benefit from ad hoc advice for the structuring of transactions, provided by our well-respected specialists.

Business execution / Liquidity provision

With today’s globalization of telecommunication as well as available internet security and standards, corporate clients will increasingly look for web-based solutions to integrate and optimize their own processes. As all banks which aim to offer a comprehensive service, we are not only permanently adapting our e-banking offering to meet these requirements but we also provide our partner banks with the possibility to use the same environment on a white label basis.

We offer:

  • Liquidity management
  • Medium or long-term export credits

Processing

Over the last few years, we have invested heavily in our trade finance processing systems. This allows us to handle the entire product range on one groundbreaking platform, sufficiently scaleable to keep pace with future demands. The self-evident, high level of automation further allows for individual processes and lower costs, compared with proprietary or older solutions.

We offer:

  • Operational risk protection
  • Transaction handling
  • Regulatory requirements
  • Contingency planning

Client self-servicing

We see the client relationship as the ultimate core competence of any bank. Nevertheless, some tasks may form part of an outsourcing agreement, be it with UBS as the providing partner or on a white label basis.

We offer:

  • Risk transformation
  • Advisory and reporting
  • Value-added services
