Account Opening
Trading companies
Trading companies need more than an IBAN — they need banks that issue letters of credit, run FX properly and understand documentary flows. We place import-export and commodity businesses with institutions whose trade desks actually match their corridors, counterparties and volumes.

How we place you
- Map the supply chain — goods, corridors, counterparties and Incoterms.
- Shortlist banks whose trade appetite covers your routes and volumes.
- Prepare contracts, invoices and transport documents as evidence of real trade.
- File and handle KYB, including sanctions and dual-use screening questions.
- Activate the account and set up LC, guarantee and FX facilities.
