Exclusive Training

A new solution in supply chain finance to shape trade in the 21st Century!

The ICC has set itself an ambitious goal to introduce an innovative way for trading counterparties to secure and finance their open account trade transactions via their banking partners. The new instrument called “Bank of Payment Obligation” (BPO) will enable importers and exporters to involve their preferred banking partners in their trade transactions and get flexible risk and financing services. Based on standardised messaging and advanced transaction matching operated by SWIFT, this new instrument will accelerate the financial supply chain in support of ever accelerating physical supply chains.

For this official one-off launch, members of the ICC URBPO Drafting Group and Education Group will come together to give a full public presentation of the new rules, followed by an exclusive training session to offer a valuable insight into this new means of payment.

The training will:

  • provide valuable first hand insight from the experts of the ICC URBPO Drafting Group
  • present the detailed rules, one by one
  • explore the corporate perspective on BPO
  • teach participants how to get started on the BPO and the ISO 20022 standards
  • describe main issues by presenting first BPO case studies

Who should attend?

  • CFOs, corporate credit and risk managers, corporate treasurers
  • Bankers, insurers, consultants and vendors active in trade and supply chain finance.
