Austin, TX (December 15, 2023) – Trade Technologies, the global leader for international trade document solutions, has been honored with two prestigious awards by the Global Business And Finance Magazine: The Most Promising Banking Technology Solution Providers Global 2023 and Best Trade Tech Solutions Company Global 2023. These accolades recognize Trade Technologies' significant contributions to the digitization and automation of global trade.
“These awards are a proud moment for us and a testament to our relentless pursuit of innovation. They reflect not just our technological prowess but also our transactional focus giving us the experience to execute, and the trade volumes to justify investment in new technologies by banks and exporters,” said Kirk Lundburg, President & CEO of Trade Technologies.
Trade Technologies has achieved notable success, with over 1,500 customers worldwide and annual transaction values exceeding $16 billion. The TradeSharp Platform and TradeBridge Integration, including the latest innovation TradeBridgeAPI Bank, stand at the forefront of Trade Technologies’ digital offerings. These solutions have revolutionized the trade document process, connecting banks and exporters to facilitate seamless transactions.
A spokesperson from the Global Business And Finance Magazine remarked, “Trade Technologies has not just met but exceeded industry standards with their innovative TradeBridgeAPI Bank solution and the TradeSharp™ platform, carving out new frontiers in banking technology.”
The TradeBridgeAPI Bank seamlessly integrates the company's proprietary TradeSharp platform with bank trade finance systems. This integration fully automates the exchange of messages, documents, and data between negotiating banks and exporters not only for export letter of credit and collections but also for other trade transactions like Guarantees and Standby LCs, fostering unprecedented efficiency and connectivity.
This cutting-edge solution automates intricate processes, transforming traditional methods into seamless, digital operations, allowing negotiating banks to eliminate the need to handle paper documents and providing automated transaction registration and compliance checking. Unlike most fintech companies, Trade Technologies simplifies, automates, and digitizes the letter of credit process and other trade transactions rather than trying to replace a proven and critical method of international trade.
