Structured Trade Finance

Need to raise funds for working capital or capital expenditure requirements? Then tap into our structured trade finance – trade financing that’s tailored to meet the individual needs of your business.

We can help even if your company has limited unstructured credit lines, due to reasons such as inadequate country limits, limited financial resources or sudden spike requirements.

That’s because our risk evaluation focuses more on your performance track record, existing performance and collateral valuation than on company financials.

Comprehensive financing solutions

Using our creative structuring capabilities, we can meet all your needs - from plain vanilla lending to structured transactions such as pre-export financings, lease financings, project-related financings and the newly introduced hedged inventory products.

Benefit from our experience

Our customised solutions take into account both you and your buyer’s requirements so you benefit from:

Improved cash flow and liquidity
Adaptability from specialised tailor-made solutions
Transfer of payment risk
Flexible tenor – short / medium term financing
Limited or non-recourse financing possibilities

Leverage our reach and distribution capabilities

Stretching over 56 countries, Standard Chartered Bank has a vast portfolio of relationships with both emerging markets and OECD suppliers and buyers – enabling us to match you with the right partner for your domestic and cross-border deals.

It also means we can syndicate financings throughout the world and take on large transactions where the ability to syndicate is a critical success factor.

Use our trading companies to facilitate your transactions

We own three trading companies (registered in New York, Singapore and Hong Kong) which you can use to facilitate trade transactions between you and your suppliers and / or buyers that cannot be completed using traditional banking services.

Because our trading companies can buy and sell goods for you, and not for our account; our trading company becomes an intermediary in your trade transaction by buying from your supplier(s) and selling to your buyer(s).
