At Nedbank Corporate and Investment Banking, we see the unexpected connections that power sustainable growth. Our trade and supply chain finance solutions are designed to unlock working capital, streamline trade flows, and empower businesses across Africa to thrive in an increasingly interconnected global economy.

 

Experts in providing strategic trade and supply chain capabilities

We're driving sustainable growth and supporting economic recovery across sub-Saharan Africa by applying our expertise in structured finance through partnerships with local and international companies. We are well placed to tackle the region's trade finance challenges. Through cross-sector experience, we're unlocking growth opportunities and navigating a challenging economic environment that demonstrates our unique ecosystem expertise to see unexpected connections for sustainable business growth.

 

Tailored advisory solutions that create sustainable value for businesses and markets

We provide the tools and structures to facilitate secure, efficient, and scalable trade, helping importers and exporters mitigate risks, improve liquidity, and strengthen their supply chains.

Our expertise in structuring tailored financial solutions allows us to support major clients like Prax South Africa, Mulilo, WBHO, and Sterling & Wilson. From letters of credit and performance guarantees to syndicated facilities and hedging, we empower clients to navigate complexity with confidence, whether they're building solar farms or refining energy supply chains.

We go beyond financial products to create real-world impact. By unlocking working capital for our clients, we facilitate the liquidity they need to grow. We also understand that when suppliers get paid faster, cash flow is improved and costs are reduced through strengthening supplier relationships and better payment terms. With the use of integrated digital platforms, we can streamline operations and increase efficiency across the full trade process.

 

World-class trade finance capabilities that are trusted by businesses across industries

We're driving sustainable growth and supporting economic recovery across sub-Saharan Africa. By applying our expertise in structured finance through partnerships with local and international companies, we are well placed to tackle the region's trade finance challenges. We're unlocking growth opportunities to enhance efficiency as well as improve the integration of key systems and security of supply chain transactions, driving significant value for businesses engaged in domestic and international trade. This demonstrates our unique ecosystem expertise to see unexpected connections and create sustainable growth.

 

Leveraging innovation to make more connections and scale operations

In 2024, Nedbank Corporate and Investment Banking launched Africa's first cloud-based supply chain finance platform powered by China Systems' Eximbills Microservices. This platform is set to transform supply chain financing in the region with the ability to support growing transaction volumes, enhancing operational efficiency.

 

When you see unexpected connections, you see sustainable growth.
