Contract
Agree product, delivery basis, price, title, documents and payment mechanics.
Trade finance
Payment security aligned with physical performance.
Financing and settlement structures are developed for the specific contract, cargo, counterparties, banks and documentary obligations.
Transaction finance
Bankability is established before reliance.
Kafra Core coordinates trade-finance requirements with its counterparties and banking relationships. Instrument type, issuer acceptability, wording, authentication, tenor, document conditions and reimbursement mechanics are reviewed before a commercial obligation is treated as financeable.
No reference on this website represents that a bank has approved, issued or committed an instrument for a specific transaction.
Financing workflow
From commercial contract to bank-to-bank settlement.
Commercial and banking workstreams proceed in parallel, with documentary conditions tied to physical milestones.
Credit review
Assess counterparties, banks, limits, tenor, jurisdiction and security package.
Instrument
Agree form, wording, issuing and advising path, authentication and conditions.
Shipment
Link loading, inspection and title evidence to the required documentary set.
Presentation
Review documents for contractual and instrument compliance before presentation.
Settlement
Complete bank-to-bank payment, reconciliation, release and transaction close-out.
Structures considered
Transaction-specific instruments and facilities.
The appropriate structure depends on counterparty credit, product, title point, cargo cycle, bank appetite and documentary complexity.
Documentary credits
Irrevocable letters of credit subject to agreed documentary conditions and, where applicable, UCP 600.
Standby instruments
Standby letters of credit or demand guarantees under agreed rules, including ISP98, UCP 600 or URDG 758 where selected.
Documentary collections
Documents against payment or acceptance where the counterparty and transaction risk profile permit.
Prepayment and escrow
Controlled advance-payment, escrow or milestone structures where the underlying security and release conditions are acceptable.
Receivables finance
Discounting or receivables-backed structures subject to obligor, assignment and bank approval.
Inventory and transit finance
Facilities linked to eligible inventory, title, storage, insurance and controlled collateral arrangements.
Documentary alignment
Contract, cargo and instrument must describe the same transaction.
Product description, quantity tolerance, shipment period, ports, title documents, inspection evidence and presentation deadlines are aligned across the sale contract and the applicable bank instrument.
Amendments are authenticated and approved before reliance. Payment-instruction changes are independently verified through established channels.
Bank messaging
Secure institutional channels.
Depending on the structure, bank communications may include authenticated SWIFT messages such as MT700, MT760, MT799 and MT103. Message type alone does not establish credit approval or payment security; the issuing institution, content, authentication and governing conditions remain decisive.
Approved banks
Authenticated instructions
Dual verification
Document control
Sanctions screening
Settlement reconciliation
