World leader for international trade document solutions, announces its 2022 results.
Trade Technologies, the world leader for international trade document solutions, announced its 2022 results, showcasing exceptional growth in its tech-enabled services paired with ground-breaking trade finance technology advancement.
The company's TradeSharp Platform processed over 65,000 trade transactions in 2022, including letters of credit, documentary collections, and open account trades, with a total value of over USD 16 billion.
A remarkable 53% of these transactions were securely presented to banks or buyers online, reducing risk, turnaround times, and overall costs for exporters and trade banks.

Trade Technologies continued to expand its customer base, welcoming over 100 new clients in 2022, and now boasts over 100 trade professionals in its 16 operations offices across nine countries.
The company's TradeBridge connectivity and data exchange product suite also saw significant advancements in 2022, automating the delivery of data and images for over 6,000 export transactions on behalf of over 150 beneficiaries. The Company also released a new version of its TradeBridge API for Banks. TradeBridge Bank automates the entire transactional lifecycle of letter of credit and collections transactions between exporters and banks.
Since its establishment in 2003, Trade Technologies has successfully processed over 560,000 international trade transactions worth almost USD 150 billion, constantly pushing the boundaries of innovation in trade finance. The company's commitment to delivering cutting-edge solutions, combined with its remarkable results, solidifies its position as a leader in the industry.
“Despite the consistent geopolitical and economic challenges, 2022 was another excellent year for Trade Technologies and our customers,” said Kirk Lundburg, CEO of Trade Technologies. “We expect continued growth in 2023 and beyond as our technology and services continue to provide outstanding value to our customers.”
