Global trade keeps the world moving, but it’s still trapped in paper. One transaction can involve 30 stakeholders, 240 paper copies and weeks of delays. TWIN is the trusted trade network built to fix that. Watch how in just over 2 minutes. #TrustedTrade

A seller ships the goods, sends an invoice, and waits for the buyer to pay on agreed terms. Most of global trade works this way. Nobody guarantees that payment. It runs on trust built up over years. A first-time exporter does not have years. #TrustedTrade

Half of large companies can access trade finance on reasonable terms. For small companies it is about a third. Same goods. Same buyers. Same routes. The same documents, equally in order. What separates them is how much of the business behind the trade a lender can verify for

A single trade transaction can involve up to 27 documents and take two to three months to clear. That overhead is close to fixed. It lands the same on a small cargo as on a large one. Which is why the smallest exporters feel it most. #TrustedTrade

Border delays can cut the value of a perishable cargo by up to 15%. For flowers, fruit and vegetables, time spent waiting at a border shows up directly in the price the exporter gets. Documents that arrive before the goods do keep more of that value with the grower.
