Turn a verified trade into finance offers from licensed partners, tracked to settlement.
T57 solves the finance gap for food SMEs by turning every trade into a verified, documented deal that licensed lenders can assess and fund.
The problem
Weeks of separate applications
The global trade finance gap reached $2.5 trillion in 2025, and banks rejected 41% of SME trade finance applications (ADB, January 2026). Food SMEs are hit hardest. Each bank asks for the same documents in a different format, takes weeks to respond and often says no because it cannot see a clean record of the trade. So producers and traders fund deals from their own cash, turn down orders or accept expensive informal credit.
How it works
Request → Compare → Fund and repay
- 01
Request
From an accepted trade, send a finance request built from your verified deal file: Passport, contract, counterparties and documents.
- 02
Compare
Licensed banks and finance companies, including Islamic finance providers, review the same file and compete with offers.
- 03
Fund and repay
Accept the best offer. At settlement, the end buyer's payment goes into escrow and repays the lender automatically.
What makes it different
Built for trust, not just listings
Why lenders trust T57
Bank blockchains became digital silos. T57 shows the whole trade.
Between 2022 and 2023, several bank-backed trade networks closed, including we.trade, Marco Polo, TradeLens and Contour. Each connected its own members and little else, so no one could see the whole trade. T57 starts from the trade, not the bank.
Use case · Illustrative example
Riyadh trader funds an Indian rice shipment
A Riyadh trading house has a confirmed order from a Saudi distributor for basmati rice from an Indian processor. Its own capital is tied up in other shipments. It sends one finance request from the trade record to several licensed lenders and accepts the best offer. The exporter is paid at shipment through an LC. When the distributor accepts delivery and pays into escrow, the lender is repaid automatically and the balance goes to the trader.
Why T57
We believe that a sound food trade should be financeable, whatever the size of the business behind it.
T57 does not lend
Finance is provided by licensed banks and finance companies, who make their own credit decisions. T57 provides the verified record and the workflow.
AI advises, people decide
AI helps prepare and check the deal file. Lenders decide, and any adverse decision by T57 about a member is reviewed by a person.
