Global Trade Finance: What It Is, How It Works, And The Benefits
International trade is a driving force behind the global economy, enabling the exchange of goods and services across borders and fostering worldwide growth and prosperity. Trade finance supports this system by helping importers and exporters mitigate financial risk— providing exporters with timely payments or receivables under agreed terms, while offering importers the credit needed to fulfill trade orders.

In today’s environment, minimizing supply chain disruptions, ensuring business continuity, and securing stable pricing and service are essential to maintaining long term viability and staying competitive and profitable.

Learn practical strategies and insights from industry experts, including Thomas Matthias, Senior Vice President of the Global Trade Finance Group at Regions Bank; Darrel Hulsey, Director of the International Trade Center at UGA SBDC; Susan Kintanar, Regional Director at the U.S. Export Import Bank; and Angela Johnson of Export Insurance Services, Inc.
