Asset Monetisation

Information about the Monetisation of Bank Instruments

Monetisation is a low-cost, low-risk method of trade finance that monetises inactive financial instruments. This involves converting a bank instrument into a legal tender such as cash or cash equivalents. You must be in possession of the instrument and the bank instrument must be issued by a well rated bank and must be a negotiable instrument. 

Monetising a bank instrument can be done within 14 days after all documents are signed and verified, this process allows you to either:

1. Monetise instruments for cash

2. Monetise instruments for buy/sell platform entry.

Each one can be via non-recourse or recourse funds depending on the agreement.
