This episode offers a window into the future of supply chain finance, where innovation strengthens—not disrupts—the fabric of trust across global commerce. Credit is no longer just a post-transactional decision rather it is being embedded directly into the trade process. From e-commerce and cargo-tech platforms integrating lending solutions, to growing calls for legal recognition of electronic records and payment obligations, a more agile, real-time approach to trade credit is emerging. With André Casterman, we deep-dive into this evolving landscape: What’s enabling new entrants to take informed credit decisions? How are alternative data and electronic records driving smarter risk models? What progress is being made on frameworks like MLETR to legally validate digital trade instruments? Through it all, the conversation will highlight a collective shift: from reactive to proactive credit mechanisms, from siloed processes to interoperable networks—and from rigid to inclusive models that better serve SMEs and modern trade ecosystems.
