Recognizing the Basel II reforms’ profound impact on the way international commerce is funded, Cotecna offers dedicated Trade Finance services.
Our mission is to assist both Borrowers and Lenders in setting-up cost-effective, yet solid, financing structures in this new environment. We achieve this by providing Lenders with tools to verify that their loan application conforms to the purpose of the credit and enhance their control over the transaction. This will result in more favourable loan classifications, hence in easier and/or cheaper financing.
Our services consist in the monitoring of physical collateral security, at any stage of the transaction (production, storage, processing, transit, etc.), local custody and handling of title or other documentation related to the Goods, and other tailor-made interventions.
