Our approach

Finance as a commercial discipline.

Trade finance is not a back-office function at ROS Trading — it is a commercial discipline that determines the scale and quality of transactions we execute. Every transaction is structured from inception to be bankable.

We work with established trade finance providers across African and international banking corridors to deliver Letter of Credit (LC)-backed transaction frameworks, structured commodity finance, and pre-financing solutions appropriate to each counterparty engagement.

Capabilities

What our trade finance team delivers.

01

LC Structuring

Sight, deferred, and standby Letter of Credit structures aligned with the commercial profile of each transaction. UCP 600 compliant.

02

Bank Relationship Management

Direct engagement with confirming, advising, and issuing banks across African and international corridors. Established credit lines.

03

Pre-Financing Solutions

Structured pre-export and pre-shipment financing arrangements for qualified counterparties and cargo profiles.

04

Credit Risk Discipline

Independent credit assessment, counterparty review, and exposure management across every active transaction.

Why this matters

The financial backbone of every deal.

In commodity trading, financial structuring decides which transactions are executable and which remain commercial concepts. ROS Trading prioritises bankability from the first commercial conversation.

Our trade finance discipline allows counterparties — refineries, end-users, intermediaries — to engage with the confidence that ROS Trading will deliver on the financial side of any committed transaction.

  • UCP 600 compliance on all LC-backed transactions
  • Established banking corridors across African and international financial centres
  • Documented credit policy applied to every counterparty engagement
