How It Works
Digitised Letters of Credit
Contour transforms the Letter of Credit process by managing the entire end-to-end process in a collaborative workflow, giving buyers and sellers instant access and real-time visibility of the transaction, all on one connected platform.
Our journey has just begun by transforming Letters of Credit and we'll soon expand into other areas of trade finance.
Technology
Contour harnesses leading technologies, such as R3's Corda blockchain platform to digitise the trade finance process.
Designed in collaboration with the trade ecosystem, the result is a solution that is fast, secure and interoperable.
