Tradeteq Trade Finance Investing Platform

Tradeteq is a trade finance infrastructure provider headquartered in London, United Kingdom, now part of Silver Birch Finance. It aims to turn trade finance into an investable asset class by connecting originators of trade assets with institutional investors.

The platform offers originators (alternative lending platforms, banks and factoring companies) standardised note issuance, automated transaction servicing and securitisation as a service, while investors access trade finance opportunities and transaction services. The site reports 100+ institutional investors, 85+ originators, USD 5 billion in notes issued and more than 5 million instruments processed.

• Standardised note issuance: originators package trade assets into notes for investors.
• Automated transaction servicing: end-to-end workflow automation for asset administration.
• Securitisation as a Service: structuring support for trade receivable portfolios.
• Investor access: institutional investors browse and fund trade finance opportunities.
• Transaction services: onboarding and servicing tools for investors and originators.

A Vietnamese factoring company or fintech lender could issue notes backed by supplier invoices to raise funds from foreign institutional investors. A bank could distribute part of its trade finance book to free up capacity for export clients.

Originators can fund trade receivables beyond their own balance sheet through standardised notes. Automated servicing reduces manual workflow per transaction. Securitisation as a service lets smaller lenders access institutional capital. Investors gain a standardised route into trade finance assets.

Private credit investors increasingly look at trade receivables as an asset class, and lenders in Southeast Asia, including Vietnam, face funding gaps for SME working capital. Infrastructure that packages and distributes trade assets to institutional capital addresses this demand.

Headquartered at 85 Gresham Street, London. Acquired by Silver Birch Finance, announced 14 May 2025. Founding year not stated on the site.
