Carl Wegner, CEO of Contour, stated, “Our association with Finastra is a significant forward-moving step towards breaking obstructions to adoption and improving access to trade finance. By merging with Finastra’s Fusion Trade Innovation, financial institutions & corporates will gain access to an end-to-end ecosystem of services that will allow them to make transactions smooth & safe.”

International trade is a multi-trillion dollar industry which bears a crucial dependence on corporations & consumers in terms of global trade transactions. Many financial organisations seek a network to help cooperative work processes between trade participants to improve effectiveness. Finastra and Contour resolved this requirement through this latest integration, enabling the adoption of digital trade solutions while decreasing client expenses, dependence on paper transactions and foreign trade risks.

Finastra and Contour will further speed up the acquisition of digital trade solutions by connecting the two essential components of digital trade finance - a profoundly coordinated core banking platform for internal purposes and an external decentralised network for bank and corporate customer communication. The arrangement offers full transparency and visibility, decreasing the Letter of Credit procedure by up to 7 days, releasing working capital for corporations and boosting banks' returns.
