It is often used where there is a timing gap between paying suppliers and receiving cash from customers. For importers, exporters, wholesalers and manufacturers, that timing gap can create pressure even when the underlying trade is commercially strong.

Trade finance may help your business fund supplier payments, stock purchases, raw materials, purchase orders or goods in transit.

For importers, funding the order is only part of the picture.

If your supplier is paid in USD, EUR or another currency, the exchange rate and payment timing can affect the total cost of the transaction. A movement in the currency market between agreeing the order and paying the supplier can change your margin.

02
Who can apply for trade finance?

Can Millbank FX help with the currency payment?

Where your supplier payment involves FX or an international transfer, Millbank FX can help you consider the currency and payment side of the transaction alongside the finance discussion.

Does trade finance help with supplier negotiations?

It may help where funding gives your supplier greater confidence around payment timing. Any impact on supplier terms depends on the supplier relationship, transaction structure and commercial negotiation.

How quickly can trade finance be arranged?

Timescales vary depending on the lender, documentation, transaction complexity and any checks required. Complete and accurate information can help avoid delays.
