The Facility is a specialist trade finance product offered to companies who buy and sell goods and companies in the re-export business. It also benefits trade in commodities such as oil and gas, or agricultural products from producers to the refiners/marketers in markets worldwide.

The scheme is a complex form of financing, which not too many banks currently offer in the UAE market because it requires banks to have a complete understanding of international trade and the risks associated, including geo-political issues.

“Due to foresighted development and it’s strategic geographic location, the UAE has rapidly developed in to a major regional and global trade hub,” said Colin Fraser, Head of Wholesale Banking Group of ADCB.

ADCB has a fully developed Trade Finance Division, providing various specialist products.
