Platform and advisory for every risk in trade finance.
Trade Finance Intelligence builds the compliance platform TFI TradeCore and combines it with compliance advisory and independent audits. We specialise in an intersection many only look at in passing: where goods, documents, vessels and public export cover meet sanctions, export control and anti-money laundering.
Traceable decisions.
Compliance decisions in international trade are often judgement calls under time pressure. We want them to be traceable: based on official sources, documented in a form that stands up to audit, and made by the people who carry the responsibility. That is why we advise – and why we build tools.

What you can hold us to.
- 01
Evidenced, not asserted
Every statement cites its source, date and limits – in reports and in software. That applies to what we say about ourselves, too: what we cannot evidence, we do not claim.
- 02
People decide
Tools prepare and explain. Decisions with legal effect are made by people – under the four-eyes principle.
- 03
Vendor-neutral
We do not resell list data and are not tied to any screening or data vendor. We recommend what fits your institution.
- 04
Confidential and data-minimal
We work with as little personal data as possible, anonymise wherever we can, and agree confidentiality before the first substantive exchange.
- 05
Clear boundaries
No legal advice and no statutory audits. Where it matters, we work closely with your legal department or external counsel.
