The Trade Finance Value Leak
€12M

in annual operating costs trapped in trade finance operations.

Source: Conpend, 2026 Trade Finance Value Leak Report

Manual checking quietly costs trade operations millions every year.

  • Manual document review

    Credits, invoices and bills of lading still read line by line — including the many that turn out to be fine.

  • Discrepancy loops

    Every inconsistency starts another repair cycle for your most experienced specialists.

  • Fragmented controls

    Sanctions, KYC and policy checks spread across separate systems and teams.

  • Audit trails rebuilt afterwards

    Email escalations make decisions hard to reconstruct when audit or a regulator asks.

How Trade AI works

One workflow, from document intake to a decision you can evidence.

Scroll to follow one presentation through Trade AI.

The following four steps describe how Trade AI handles a presentation. An illustrative example follows one import letter of credit with five documents, where seven checks are clear and one finding is raised because the documents were presented 23 days after shipment, beyond the 21 days allowed under UCP 600 article 14(c).

01 / 04 · Capture

Every document in, identified and classified.

Presentations arrive from any channel. Trade AI identifies each document — the credit, invoices, bills of lading, certificates — and classifies it automatically, so nothing waits to be sorted by hand.

02 / 04 · Structure

Unstructured files become structured trade data.

Amounts, dates, ports, goods and parties are extracted field by field, and every value stays linked to the document it came from — ready to be compared across the whole transaction.

03 / 04 · Check

Your examination and compliance checks, applied the same way every time.

Discrepancy analysis against UCP 600 and ISBP 821, cross-document consistency, sanctions and counterparty screening, vessel and dual-use goods checks, and your own policy rules.

04 / 04 · Evidence

Every finding explained. Every decision recorded.

Findings arrive with the rule and the source behind them. Cases that need judgement go to a specialist, and every decision, override and escalation is captured as the case moves — not reconstructed afterwards.

New · Trade Agent · Built on Trade AI

An examiner that works the whole presentation, and shows its work.

Trade Agent is an AI examiner for documentary trade finance. It reads the Letter of Credit, examines the documents, screens for compliance risk and returns one prioritised, explained set of findings. Your team reviews what was found and makes the call.

See what’s done. Act on what’s not.

Today’s presentations

One status per case. Every finding with its reason.

Trade Agent releases nothing, pays nothing, refuses nothing and sends nothing.

The decision, materiality, the customer relationship and your risk appetite stay with the bank. Every finding names its check and its source, and a named person confirms or dismisses it.

With the right training, Trade AI can achieve accuracy levels exceeding 90%, combining structured rules, large language models and trusted data sources. Every extracted value links back to its source, and cases that need judgement route to a specialist instead of being approved automatically.

No. Trade AI integrates with Finastra, Temenos, CGI and Iron Mountain, and is designed to extend existing systems rather than replace them.
