Trade finance is a set of financial instruments used by businesses to support international trade. It helps importers and exporters overcome the challenges of global transactions—such as long payment cycles, currency risk, and trust—by providing credit, guarantees, and risk mitigation tools.
Trade finance ensures that exporters receive timely payments, while importers receive the goods as expected. It is one of the pillars of global commerce, supporting trillions of dollars in trade activities.
