It is also a business where significant changes are being both driven and enabled by advances in technology. Today, banks face real choices in how they manage, optimize, and develop their trade and supply chain finance business - choices that require a clear understanding of the importance of trade and supply chain finance to each individual bank's corporate business and what it is costing them today to deliver this and related services.
