Home Careers Contact Support About Solutions Technology Services Media Centre Corporate Responsibility IBAS GTF - Global Trade Finance Factory While many banking operations are becoming increasingly automated, trade finance transactions are still typified by a great deal of manual processing. Legacy systems and manual processes are proving to be the barriers to operational efficiency. Each step of the process (importer-to-bank, bank-to-bank and bank-to-exporter) takes time and creates significant scope for error. This results in documents being sent back and forth, often many times, creating further delays. Focus must be, therefore, centered strongly on investment in innovative and cutting-edge solutions in order to expose greater yields from the supply chain.
