Banks Can Speed Access to Capital with New Oracle Trade and Supply Chain Finance Cloud Services

Automation and streamlined operations enable greater speed, transparency, and value-added services to corporate clients

AUSTIN, Texas, June 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- New Oracle Trade Finance and Supply Chain Finance cloud services are empowering banks to provide corporate and small- and medium-sized enterprise (SME) clients faster access to financing through streamlined trade processes. Oracle has introduced these new cloud services to unify operations and help manage the entire trade and supply chain finance lifecycles. The new trade finance service enables banks to streamline, automate, and manage trade finance operations across geographies and currencies, improving operational efficiency and visibility. The new supply chain finance service enables the full lifecycle and factoring across receivables and payables, offering supplier-centric and buyer-centric financing. 

By modernizing these corporate banking functions, banks can accelerate underwriting processes, improve regulatory compliance management, reduce physical documentation, and more effectively prevent fraud. In addition, the new digital self-service capabilities provide corporate clients the ability to initiate transactions and get real-time updates, including the ability to transparently track the progress of their finance requests, manage collateral, and get a real-time view of limits utilized, leading to a better customer experience. Corporates can also digitally onboard their counterparties as part of a tailored supply chain finance program with automated Know Your Customer (KYC) checks. This helps inject liquidity across the value chain for more financial flexibility and to enable banks to offer add-on services to the trade ecosystem.

"Trade finance and supply chain finance demand a resilient and agile technology foundation, one that can adapt to the inherent volatility of global commerce," said Sovan Shatpathy, senior vice president, product management and development, Oracle Financial Services. "Our next-generation cloud solutions are purpose-built to transform how banks manage the full trade lifecycle delivering faster execution, greater operational efficiency, and enhanced transparency by harnessing the scale and intelligence of the cloud."    

The new solutions are part of the broader Oracle Banking Cloud Services portfolio, which includes Oracle Digital Banking Experience, Banking APIs, Originations, Accounts, Cash Management, Enterprise Limits and Collateral Management, Payments and Retail cloud services.

Addressing the trade finance and supply chain finance gap
The Asian Development Bank has reported¹ that the global trade finance gap is estimated at USD $2.5 trillion or 10% of global merchandise trade, indicating the scarcity in the availability of finance for trade stakeholders. Addressing this scarcity challenge is often marred by legacy systems that stifle innovation with manual workflows, inefficient processes, and inconsistent communication.

Oracle Banking Trade Finance Cloud Service provides automated workflows and flexible product configurations to support digital trade operations across multiple geographies. This includes managing the end-to-end lifecycle for a wide range of trade finance services, such as documentary credits, guarantees, and documentary collections.

Oracle Banking Supply Chain Finance Cloud Service is a pre-built and pre-configured digital, front-to-back solution that enables banks to bring new products to market faster and efficiently manage buyers and suppliers on the same platform. Complete automation and straight-through processing (STP) of disbursement and liquidation processes also helps banks scale their supply chain finance operations and reach new customer segments. 

Each cloud-native application in the componentized, and composable Oracle Banking Cloud Services portfolio helps banks modernize with less risk and deliver faster time-to-value. Services can run standalone or integrate with existing systems, providing provisioning and availability in just minutes. They also feature automated patching and reduced disaster-recovery switchover times that can lower IT costs and burden. The services are built on the security, performance and scalability of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
