Digitalization in trade finance: Trends, Opportunities and Challenges

Now more then ever, the banking world is looking for solutions to overcome the obstacles that come with the digitalization of documents, the electronic data requirements and the changes in payment methods. The COVID-19 pandemic has already changed the world of banking and will continue to do so. The aim of this webinar is to provide a comprehensive understanding of today’s payments infrastructures related to trade, commodities and commercial lending together with a considered view as to where the banking industry is heading. 

The experts will present the ICC Banking Commission Opinions from 2020/21, discuss the ICC eRules and examine the current state of the payments industry - from the complexity of the current payments landscape, the growing demand for digitalization of documents, the ever-increasing range of electronic data and payments methods to the expectation of the future payments scene. The programme concludes with relevant case studies and a Q&A session.
