Toronto, Canada, April 30, 2019 – GlobalTrade Corporation (GTC) has announced today that EPIROC (https://www.epiroc.com) has expanded the use of its @GlobalTrade™ Multi-bank Trade Finance Platform to the U.S., China, and India.
Epiroc first adopted @GlobalTrade ™ in 2017 with the main objective to replace an old system that was to be phased out. The main needs were firstly to administer Letter of Credits, and secondly to administer Guarantees both in an effective and transparent way. Important for us is to standardize how we work with trade finance globally. GTC’s system enables us to do this, whilst at the same time we can support each other irrespective of where in the world our people are located. ‘Now when our colleagues in the U.S., China, and India have started to use the system it makes our vision come true’, said Jonas Kälfors, Head of Trade & Structured Finance.
“We are very happy that Epiroc can see a meaningful impact on its operations using our technology”, said Olga Schwarzkopf, GTC’s VP of Business Development. “This gives us energy to work even harder and innovate in the area of digitization of trade finance.”
