- Back-to Back L/C Financing (transactional finance)

Structured trade finance (STF) is a funding solution used by distributors and manufacturers in the hard commodity (e.g., metals and mining) and soft commodity (e.g., agricultural crops) sectors. STF products are extended across the supply chain, from raw material purchase to customer delivery, to facilitate trading and / or production activities. JPF works with individual clients and financial institutions to understand their working capital needs and then enables a funding facility to support the corporate’s main line of business. STF is a specialized form of financing which is seen as an alternative to conventional lending as it uses the underlying cash flows or value of the commodities as the basis for security. Due to the unwavering value of commodities within the supply chain, STF solutions are able to provide financing at various points of raw materials purchase, production, inventory or trade.
