Case Study: ODDO BHF achieves greater trade finance efficiency and automation with Finastra Trade Innovation

Building a collaborative trade finance network

ODDO BHF, formed by the 2016 merger of Oddo & Cie and BHF-BANK and headquartered in Paris, wanted to strengthen its international and corporate banking strategy by reducing the trade finance gap for customers doing business across Africa, Asia & Middle East, Eastern Europe, and Latin America. To support this goal, the bank needed a more efficient, automated approach to trade finance processing, and selected Finastra Trade Innovation from vendor Finastra.

Finastra implemented Finastra Trade Innovation to give ODDO BHF flexible, automated workflows and API integration with third-party providers. The solution is helping ODDO BHF build a strong foundation for future growth in international and corporate banking by increasing automation in processing workflows, reducing manual effort, and improving efficiency and accuracy in trade finance operations.
