Structured Trade + Commodity Finance


Specialists supported by expert credit + legal staff


Meets your needs outside of normal banking credit lines - focuses on underlying transaction flows rather
than your balance sheet strength. Sophisticated trade solutions and risk-hedging instruments.

What is STCF?


Reduce cross-border + country risks


STCF involves financing of commodities, goods and products being exported, imported, bought or sold.


It provides sophisticated trade solutions and innovative risk-hedging solutions for traders, importers and exporters, buyers and sellers, intermediaries and agents.

This product transfers the risks associated with trade financing from your business to parties that are better equipped to absorb these risks.

Through tried and tested trade finance risk mitigation techniques, STCF can help your business mitigate your cross-border and country risks.

Does your business need STCF?



  • Is your growing and profitable business experiencing cash flow constraints?
  • Do you want to manage your procurement, inventory and sales risks better?
  • Are you turning down big contracts due to credit limits on your existing banking facilities?
  • Do you require bespoke and improved risk-mitigated specialised trade financing?

We can help to facilitate and finance your business's cross-border transactions, as we focus on underlying transaction flows rather than balance sheet strength. We can therefore tailor a bespoke solution suited to your business's specific trading requirements.
