Credit & Governance
At Trade Finance Partners, credit decisions are driven by structure and judgement.
Our governance framework is designed to deliver consistency across cycles and clarity for counterparties and capital providers.
Credit Framework
Each facility is assessed against a defined framework covering:
- Trade activity and commercial purpose
- Jurisdictional and execution risk
- Cashflow and repayment sources
- Structural protections and documentation
- Contracts and settlement mechanics
Analysis is grounded in how each transaction functions in practice.
Approval & Authority
Credit approval sits at senior level.
Risk appetite and approval thresholds are clearly defined, with separation between origination and credit oversight. Facilities are approved on their individual merits, without reliance on automated scoring.
Structuring & Oversight
Facilities are structured to align with trading cycles and legal enforceability across relevant jurisdictions.
Once deployed, facilities are monitored in line with their structure and risk profile. Utilisation and key indicators are reviewed on an ongoing basis, with escalation where risk dynamics change.
Governance Standards
Our processes reflect institutional expectations, with emphasis on:
- Clear documentation and auditability
- Defined approval authority
- Lifecycle transparency
- Consistent application of policy
Governance is treated as an operating discipline.
