On February 23, 2016, Nadine Louis, Swift's Market Manager for Corporate and Supply Chain Markets, will present the Bank Payment Obligation (BPO) during a one-hour webinar organised by The Association of International Credit and Trade Finance Professionals (ICTF).
Introduction:
In recent years, the banking industry released a unique set of legal and technology standards to address the needs for growing digitisation of commerce and finance processes.They also address the needs for on-demand risk mitigation and financing services whilst inter-linking with electronic trade documentation platforms. Many credit professionals are becoming more curious about the benefits of Bank Payment Obligations (BPO), a relatively new financial instrument.
Learn about BPO's key benefits for corporates, including Working Capital and Cash Flow Improvements, easier access to risk mitigation, preshipment and post-shipment finance, automation of payment, reconciliation and forecasting processes, and more.
Topics to be covered:
- BPO - a new payment method in your sales contract
- The ICC URBPO rules that govern BPOs
- Mitigating risks in international trade for buyers and sellers
- Access to flexible financing, pre- and post-shipment financing
- A 3-corner model vs. a 4-corner model, allowing sellers to continue to work with their own banks, while the seller’s bank and buyer’s bank deal directly with each other through the multi-bank open standards
- Transaction lifecycle and electronic data matching
- Market adoption
- Case Study, application models, working capital control and impact on credit lines.
