Our solutions enable you to meet your objectives of reducing costs, increasing efficiency and profitability through better receivables and risk management.

Funding your growth – Working Capital & Trade Financing

• Supply Chain Financing: Whether you are a supplier or a buyer, your cash flow is affected by your trading partners’ ability to raise funds efficiently. We ensure that partners in your supply chains have access to sufficient, steady financing on competitive terms.
• Working Capital: We offer a comprehensive range of credit facilities with competitive interest rates and a variety of repayment options to suit your needs. With an international presence in over 52 markets, we can structure a financing solution best suited to your working capital requirements to help you grow internationally.
• Documentary and Open Account Trade: You can navigate the waters of international trade via our fully integrated channels and global technology platforms. Our global network is ideally suited to helping you with satisfaction of your trade needs internationally.

Managing market volatility for your business

• Foreign Exchange: Lean on a primary provider for your FX needs across the world. We offer you with access to a wide range of emerging market and G10 currencies, payments and trading in over 100 currencies via traditional voice and electronic channels. We work with you on your hedging, investment and funding requirements, delivering focused end-to-end, risk-management, investment and funding solutions.
• Rates: Access to the world’s highest-potential rates markets remains limited. Yet early moves in China and other future leading markets will reap great rewards. With broad product capabilities and understanding of nuances across such markets, we can be your local guide. Trade in everything from derivates and securities to cross-currency products, structured rate products and financing products with us.
• Commodity: No other bank offers as broad a range of commodities trading products across as many jurisdictions globally than Standard Chartered. And with sustainability-targeting solutions and carbon and emissions trading also available, you can rely on us for all your global trading needs. We offer extensive capabilities across all commodities sectors with solutions covering a broad range of products which will allow you to manage your commodities price risk.
• Global Credit Market: Financing across Asia, Africa and the Middle East is typically complex. Working with strategic partners, we can help you circumvent barriers, and facilitate access to loans, bonds and bespoke structured financing. And with sustainability-linked products and solutions available, you can meet your financing and investing needs whilst also contributing to a better world.
• Financing and securities services: Managing multiple providers across securities services is time and resource draining. We can service all your needs across the investment lifecycle – from prime services to custody, clearing and fund services. And with all this available across a global footprint and via a single platform, you can rely on just one partner globally.
