Trade & Commodity Finance

  4. Trade & Commodity Finance

FIMBank provides transactional and structured short-term financing to trading companies. You can benefit from a wealth of experience by specialist personnel in handling transactions dealing with a number of basic agri, metals and energy commodities, coupled with a good understanding of emerging markets. We offer flexible creative solutions supporting back-to back L/C deals and more complex structured trade transactions.

Our customers benefit from a one-stop shop to facilitate their transactions. The basic premise of a commodity transaction is to arrange a closed-end, self-liquidating, secured and closely monitored transaction that may include:

  • Pre-Export
  • Export/Import
  • Post-Import
  • Receivable Financing
  • Back-to Back L/C Financing (transactional finance)
  • Syndicated Short Term Trade Finance 

FIMBank supports these facilities in all major currencies, combined with the necessary currency hedging instruments. Bridging finance is normally available on a floating interest rate base. Margins on the level of finance available apply, depending on the goods traded and the associated market risk for the product.
