What is Contour?
Contour is a global network of banks, corporates and trade partners working together to revolutionise the trade finance industry.
Formed by a group of leading trade banks, we're building a new global standard for trade by removing barriers and transforming trade finance products, starting with Letters of Credit (LC).
Contour's goal is simple: to create a decentralised global trade finance network that enables everyone to collaborate seamlessly and securely in real time, on one common platform.
The result is a highly efficient, digital trade network that will reduce complexity, cost and optimise efficiency.
