“Intelligent automation and digital transformation are critical in the trade finance industry, especially now,” says Kurt Albertson, a Principal at The Hackett Group. “Trade finance professionals need to streamline efficiencies to stay compliant while improving accuracy.”

Trade finance is a time-consuming, document-intensive process. Settling one letter of credit can often require the processing and adjudication of 50 or more documents from multiple parties and days of adjudicating the inevitable inconsistencies. Expensive, labor intensive manual processing severely limits capacity and scalability, as well as exposing firms to potentially significant penalties for non-compliance. Automating these processes is complex due to the volume of documents per transaction, myriad entities involved and many disparate systems used. Lacking global standardization, less than 25 percent of banks currently use automated processes.

“Banks and other entities handling global trade finance each use varying processes to protect buyers and sellers and ensure trades are compliant. Kofax’s modular framework allows these entities to decide what their needs are, and easily create custom processes and workflows,” says Chris Huff, Chief Strategy Officer at Kofax. “The end result reduces the expense of conducting trade business by applying artificial intelligence and machine learning to automate the process throughout the workflow, resulting in greatly improved efficiencies.”

Kofax has built custom trade finance solutions for three of world’s largest banks and trade finance service providers, materially reducing expenses through more efficient and optimized processes. The new Trade Finance Solution Framework significantly improves time-to-value by including pre-trained trade documents, pre-defined Swift MT700 validation rules and operational dashboards for end-to-end process insight.
