What we do / Trade and commodity finance
Financing for physical commodity trade, arranged by people who trade.
We structure and arrange facilities for physical commodity traders, working alongside the trading and financing network of our group.
Instruments
- Pre-export and prepayment finance.
- Letters of credit and documentary instruments.
- Borrowing base and structured working capital facilities.
- Bridge facilities against contracted cargo.
Who it fits
- Physical traders with contracted flows and identifiable counterparties.
- Producers and processors selling into export markets.
- Energy and resource businesses that have outgrown a single bank line.
Facility sizes are set flow by flow. Scope split between CrossHill and the wider group is confirmed at the first conversation, so you always know who carries the mandate.
