Trade Finance industry is facing new challenges which are reshaping the way traditional banks are conducting business

• Concentrating industry, as some actors are retreating from this activity (e.g. ANZ in Asia)

• In the recent years, FinTechs and market places or specialized niche companies focusingon commodity finance or SME trade finance have emerged

• Marketplaces such as Alibaba are showing an alternative model, by leveraging on theirtrade-centric positioning to launch banking activities and finance activities

Changing competition

1

• Supply Chain financing has been focusing on the buyers-side (with sound credit ratings) andthe supplier-side is still underdeveloped despite the needs (e.g. payment assurance)

• There are real Financing needs in emerging markets where SMEs and distributors arestruggling to gain access to affordable working capital. According to ADB, the trade financegap in Asia has been around US$700Bn

Untapped segments

4

• Strengthening regulations around KYC, International Sanctions and AML havedeeply impacted traditional banks’ business processes, lengthening the on-boarding process and increasing workload on Operations

• Basel III requirements have triggered the deleveraging of balance sheets andhave reduced the liquidity available for the financing business

Relentless regulatory pressure

• Trade Finance is still relying on heavy processes involving the exchange of paperdocuments between multiple parties, threatening the customer experience andincreasing the banks’ overall operational cost

• Ongoing Digitization is paving the way to a renewal of this industry, for instanceby digitizing the entire chain via Blockchain / Smart Contracts

An evolving competitive landscape in both MNC and SME markets, with relentless pressure from new players on traditional segments

Asian Regional Banks

Boutique SCF Companies*

Marketplaces

FinTech

MNC (80% of current traditional activity) SME (20% of current traditional activity)

Targeting primarily large corporates and MNC

• Tier 1 and 2 Asian banks are developing a strong financing & payment network for intra-Asian flow

• In particular, Japanese banks are proposing cheap liquidities with the help of BOJ stimulating bank lending facility: 0% interest rate for loans

• In South-East Asia, sub-regional actors such as DBS are riding on the good dynamics of exchanges in the area

Targeting primarily SMEs

• Marketplaces rely on their centric positioning to build an exhaustive ecosystem for synchronized data flow in trade finance

• FinTech introduce disruptive technologies aiming primarily at serving SMEs and develop new standards (e.g. blockchain-based trade)

• Boutique SCF Companies compete by providing non-conventional business models

How to turn Asian SME market as a growth

engine for Traditional Trade Finance actors?

Major impediments in financing SMEs

Current global credit gap of SMEs is estimated at US$2.6tn, with wide gap in Asia accounting for US$700Bn to US$850Bn

Lack of collateral and information asymmetry cause low credit scores for most SMEs

The high risk profiles associated with SMEs cause long approval process for loans from banks

What levers to bridge the gap?

The ultimate goal is to fasten SMEs onboarding and loans application processing

Develop improved decision making tools via better data acquisition (e.g. third-party partnerships) and more accurate risk credit scoring for SMEs

• Business relationships are mainly between SCF serviceproviders and “cash-rich” large corporate buyers withhigh credit rating

• Buyer-led solution: SCF service providers finance theirbuyers’ accounts payable to provide early payment fortheir clients’ suppliers (Approved Payables)

• The approach is buyer-centric with frequent occurrencesof suppliers on-boarding issues

• Standards and channels are proprietary as determinedby the SCF providers

• Business relationships are between banks (partnerships)and all types of business profiles, including SME suppliers

• Supplier-led solution: Banks provide early payment forsuppliers by purchasing their accounts receivables(Receivables Finance)

• The on-boarding processes of suppliers and buyers areconducted independently with their respective banks

• This model supposes the existence of open, interoperablestandards: BPO can be used as an electronic letter ofcredit in a multi-bank industry standard

Marketplaces are disrupting the traditional trade finance model: the example of Alibaba’s developing financial ecosystem

Collection of information from multiple parties/channels, at multiple stages (KYC,

credit approval, transaction documentation, etc.)

Reporting Reporting

Financing (CN, UK, US)

Investments / Treasury management

From a desynchronization between trade & financial flows… … to an exhaustive ecosystem relying on data flows

The current Trade Finance model relies on a separation between

the flow of goods on a marketplace and the related financial flows

(payment, credit, etc.)

In this scheme the Banks, as Trade Finance instruments providers,

are not accessing all the data required to support the financing

process (e.g. KYC, credit process) and thus are losing time and

effort to gather required documentation and substantiate the

transaction

This impacts mainly SMEs (small merchants and distributors)

Alibaba has built an ecosystem relying on its centric positioning as

marketplace for multiple segments (Alibaba for wholesale, TaoBao

for retailers): it has access to a huge database of buyer/seller

information, trade payment & settlement behaviors, cash flows

All this information is tracked and analyzed through a cloud-based

IT infrastructure which allows to speed up the credit process and

reduce the risk by enhancing the reliability of the data collected

This allows Alibaba to enhance its Financial Services offer by building

blocks: payment, financing, investment of excess cash, etc.

The first positive consequence of SCF, is that the overall bank matches funding needs to the payment schedule of buyers and suppliers. This way, the own banking facilities of the parties during the entire process could be drastically reduced. Following this application of SCF the cost of all Basel III drivers can be reduced for the supply chain.
