Eliminate the Documentary Dilemma crushing your margins
Approximately 60-80% of LC documents are rejected on first presentation due to discrepancies under UCP 600 strict compliance rules. Every rejection stops the payment clock, incurs $75-$500 in discrepancy fees per error, and delays settlement by days or weeks - while your experts spend 1-3 days per transaction on manual forensic checking.
AI agents transition your operations from "detect and correct" to "predict and prevent" - pre-validating every transaction against UCP 600 and ISBP rules in 10-20 minutes, eliminating the rejection rate, and accelerating liquidity through automated AML/KYC compliance.

The friction points bleeding revenue from trade finance operations
Trade finance operates under UCP 600 strict compliance rules that create systemic failure - where highly paid experts spend the majority of their day manually finding typos in paper documents rather than managing risk or liquidity.
The Documentary Dilemma
Approximately 60-80% of documents presented under Letters of Credit are rejected on first presentation. Human checkers must verify that "Co., Ltd." matches "Company Limited" across 50+ pages. A single typo triggers $75-$500 in discrepancy fees, stops the payment clock, and delays settlement by days or weeks.
The Expertise Gap
26% of trade finance professionals are nearing retirement and fewer than 15% of banks are successfully attracting early-career talent. Fluency in UCP 600 rules takes 2-3 years of hands-on experience. As experts retire, they take decades of unwritten tribal knowledge with them, leaving remaining teams slower and more error-prone.
The Compliance Minefield
Trade finance teams face sanctions evasion risk under the "50 Percent Rule," where simple list matching is not enough. Compliance officers must manually verify if goods are over-invoiced to detect Trade-Based Money Laundering (TBML). Without automated screening, institutions face massive regulatory fines and criminal liability.
The Scaling Wall
Checking documents is a manual, forensic process taking 1-3 days per transaction. To double volume, firms need twice the human checkers. Banks reject 40-45% of SME trade finance applications not because credit is bad, but because manual due diligence cost exceeds the profit on small loans - contributing to the $2.5 trillion global trade finance gap.
The trade finance function has been trapped in a "detect and correct" model where highly paid experts spend the majority of their day manually finding typos in paper documents. Companies deploying AI-powered document validation report the virtual elimination of the 60-80% first-time rejection rate, 98% faster processing cycles, and a transition to proactive "predict and prevent" operations that unlock trapped working capital and solve the expertise gap.
