DUE DILIGENCE AND ONBOARDING

After consultation, thorough due diligence is carried out on your company as part of our Know-Your-Business (KYB) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML). You will be guided on which documents are required for this process.

TRANSACTION PROCESSING

For FX transactions, you will be onboarded to a digital platform and assigned a unique User ID, which you will use for every transaction following a clearly defined process. For trade finance, our Trade Finance Team will be on hand to support.

TURN-AROUND-TIME – For FX liquidity, it takes 24 hours to effect or complete a transaction. It is therefore prudent to ensure that clients complete the process promptly to avoid unnecessary delays. For trade finance, upon successful completion of the KYC/AML process and acceptance of the deal structure, funds are disbursed into the client's designated bank account in 14-21 days less fees.
