Toronto, Canada, March 22, 2019 – GlobalTrade Corporation (GTC) has announced today that IDEMIA www.IDEMIA.com has selected its @GlobalTrade™ Multi-bank Trade Finance Platform for managing bank guarantees. IDEMIA is the first client to purchase the Standard Version of the Guarantee Issuance system, with a quick and simple implementation. The Standard Version comes fully integrated with SWIFT MT 798 messages for standardization and automation of communication with IDEMIA’S financial institutions.
‘The IDEMIA Group operates a large and truly global Trade Finance organization from a central Paris-based team. The platform will provide IDEMIA the ability to further improve our service towards our customers, handling the complete lifecycle of our letter of credits and guarantees, while complying with the SWIFT for trade standards,’ said Vincent LEVEQUE, Head of Trade Finance at IDEMIA.
‘After a very straight forward implementation @GlobalTrade™ will enable IDEMIA to improve monitoring and control over all of its payment instruments and streamline the communication with its financial institutions, said Cyril VERBRUGGHE, Head of Sales & Client Support EMEA of GlobalTrade Corporation. IDEMIA’s banks are already supporting other corporate clients through SWIFT MT 798 standards or @GlobalTrade Channel, and this should lead to a smooth and quick rollout.’
Huny Garg, SWIFT’s Head of Trade and Supply Chain, said, ‘This is really exciting to see another successful roll-out. We have reached a tipping point in MT 798 adoption as an efficient way of digitizing the corporates-bank flows and partners like GTC have played an important role in that.’
