(BL – Bill of Lading; INV – Invoice)
What is Trade Finance Add-on?
Trade finance means secured transactions managed by banks and institutions. It also allows companies to take short term loan against the trades to optimise their working capital. Winspire has developed an in- depth add-on so that users can take care of the main processes involved in trade finance.
Letter of Credit (LC) is a good example of a secured transaction.
Here, the seller and the carrier release goods to the buyer only after the banks have verified the documents. In its simplest form, the issuing bank will release documents to buyer after getting funds from the buyer. Or it may be more complex where buyer may pay supplier after a few months and this credit will be guaranteed by the bank.
