The fintech revolution is going to change international trade as much as the digital revolution changed the media business and it is beginning now. Mobile phone money like M-pesa and microfinance lenders are bringing trade to the unbanked. Peer to peer lenders are disintermediating the big banks. Protocols based on blockchain technology will make the transfer of funds across borders instantaneous & cheap.

Franklin Phillips and East & Partners Asia Trade Finance Research
Vivianne Arnold, CEO and co-founder at Franklin Phillips, said “we have found varying confidence and ability of trade sales and distribution teams across Asia. There are pockets of strong trade sales confidence and equally impressive cross sell into other banking solutions. Unfortunately this is not consistent across the region with some key markets failing to achieve a high level of trade financing knowledge, resulting in a lack of self-assurance that leaves potential and current clients underserved and revenue not realized.
