Asked about their usage of digital trade finance products in the Euromoney Trade Finance Survey 2018, very few group treasurers and CFOs said they were already operational.
Swift’s MT798 gained the highest response rate, with 28% of respondents saying they use the product. Meanwhile, the Bank Payment Obligation (BPO) recorded 23%, and electronic bills of lading saw 20%. Blockchain recorded the lowest take up of all, with just 6% stating they have used the technology.
Swift is responsible for much of the push towards change in trade finance, being behind both the MT798 and the BPO.
