KredX, India's largest supply chain finance platform, today announced the expansion of its services into post-shipment export financing with KredX Global Trade.  Through this new offering, the company aims to empower businesses and their trade partners to have quick, digital and collateral-free access to liquidity against their receivables at competitive market rates. The initial focus will be on providing financing solutions to Indian corporates for international trade between key trade corridors: the United States, Europe, the Middle East and the rest of Asia. So far, the company has disbursed $100 million-plus in funding requirements.

KredX Global Trade is a unique proposition that will focus on providing comprehensive financing solutions to Indian corporates along with developing a robust platform that will offer connectivity to the global liquidity pools and investors, allowing investors to invest with confidence. These features will offer SME corporates, which currently account for the highest contribution to India’s exports, an alternative source of financing driven by performance-based lending criteria instead of collateral-based, at competitive rates. 

This offering will provide Indian corporates with the ease and convenience of operations with end-to-end digitized processes for availing working capital, which is unsecured and based on their current business performance and future growth and not on historical financial performance with a transparent pricing structure. Furthermore, such financing will complement companies’ existing sources of funding and be an additional source of funding that supports growth for SME companies. Moreover, it will provide investors with an opportunity to invest in/gain exposure to a larger band of trade receivables along with access to credible and real-time insights into asset quality, underlying transaction documents and an extensive range of investment structures and risk profiles.

The company has also recently collaborated with Tradewind Finance, a global financial solutions company, to provide enhanced export and supply chain financing solutions to businesses. This collaboration will focus on providing financing to the international businesses of KredX customers at competitive rates.

KredX is privileged to be one of the four entities to be granted a license by the International Financial Services Center (IFSC) to set up the ITFS platform at GIFT city. The company's collaboration with global financiers along with the ITFS platform will effectively allow KredX to offer the lowest financing rates to exporters in India. The ecosystem offered by IFSC/ITFS and India’s commitment to growing its exports from USD 330 billion to USD 1 trillion by 2028, will allow KredX to empower SMEs which will, in turn, propel the growth of India’s exports ecosystem.

This is an incredible milestone for us as we continue to exponentially grow the volume of transactions on our network. KredX has witnessed robust transaction flows via its platform. More than 6 billion transactions have been processed till date and 40,000+ businesses have increased their capital velocity 25-30 times in a year on an average. We are very excited about our expansion into global trade services and are ecstatic at extending our capability into a larger array of services.  With this new proposition we hope to bring door-step and affordable finance to businesses of all sizes against their exports and imports. We have also partnered with leading financiers in key global markets to create hassle free financing options and more tie-ups are impending. KredX aims to accomplish a book size of $2 billion by end of financial year 2023 and we expect a 25-30% impact on the overall  business within a period of 1 year through this new proposition”, said Manish Kumar, Founder and CEO at KredX.
