How a Global Trade Finance Institution Identified Hidden Compliance Risks Using Trademo Map

Problem Statement
A global trade finance institution operating across 30+ markets provides credit, financing, and risk mitigation services to businesses engaged in international trade. The institution facilitates hundreds of high-value cross-border transactions, supporting importers and exporters around the world.
With a growing portfolio of complex deals, the institution is deeply committed to maintaining compliance with evolving global regulations tied to sanctions, export controls, and forced labor and ownership risks.
These gaps introduced potential regulatory exposure and increased the urgency for a smarter, more automated approach to ownership mapping and counterparty risk screening.
Challenges
1
Lack of visibility beyond Tier-1 of your counterparties exposed hidden compliance risks.
2
Lack of visibility into counterparties led to the financing of non-compliant transactions
3
Unknowingly funded businesses linked to sanctions, forced labor, or export control violations
4
Key risks were often identified only after transaction approval, triggering internal and regulatory concerns.
