Trade flows have grown substantially over the decades …

Cross Border Trade has more than tripled since the 1980s ….

2010 trade levels (14.5% growth rate) rebounded to pre crisis levels

… the relative importance of Letter of Credit has diminished as trade transactions have migrated to Open Account (i.e. > 80% of transactions are on open account)

There are still some inherent challenges with both the traditional documentary credit flows as well as with open account flows; creating an opportunity for a solution that has the best of both flows

Corporates still face challenges in managing the financial supply chain

Challenges on ‘Letter of Credit’ Trade FlowsChallenges on ‘Letter of Credit’ Trade Flows

Process Inefficiencies – Document creation process is onerous for the exporter and often generates discrepancies which result in additional fees and delay in receipt of payment

Higher Credit Utilization – Increased credit utilization on behalf of the buyer and associated conflicts around prudent allocation of available credit

Need For Multi Bank Relationships – requires infrastructure and process (workflow) dealing with different banks

Increased Need For Working Capital – Receipt of documentation takes long; in some cases goods arrive prior to the documents required to clear the goods

Challenges on ‘Open Account’ Trade FlowsChallenges on ‘Open Account’ Trade Flows

Payment / Liquidity Risk – Exporter/Supplier lose access to a negotiable instrument that guarantees payment; potential concerns on credit and exposure concentration

Process Inefficiencies – Documentation receipt and accuracy risk for the Importer/Buyer; potential supply chain risk resulting from tightening credit and liquidity markets

Supply Chain Disruption – Operational risk management especially around discrepancy identification, tracking and resolution could end up being quite onerous for both parties and often lead to disruption of supply chain disruption

Change Is Required In Trade Finance Servicing

The Trade technology environment has been slow to evolve. Recent developments have seen a sudden emergence of multiple initiatives. Which of these is here to stay?

During the technical boom experienced by the Trade Finance banks in the 1990’s, some third party companies found a gap and commenced with the development of bank-neutral platforms. This led to the rise of the innovative multi-bank offering to Corporates leveraging a web-based technology and facilitating the existing flows between Corporates and Banks

Corporate take up of the latter has until now been somewhat lacking, however: Corporates have various types of relationships with their banks. Managing these

relationships in a fast-paced, technology-driven environment becomes complex, especially without a solution based on uniform standards

J.P. Morgan leading the way with SWIFT

Since its inception, J.P. Morgan has been deeply involved in the development of SWIFT Corporate Access. Companies are able to consolidate their banking connectivity and leverage standardized formats and features common to most banks

In 2005, J.P. Morgan was among the first 5 banks to invest with SWIFT in an open account matching solution (Trade Services Utility)

In 2008, SWIFT announced a move to further standardize trade messaging by introducing SWIFT Trade for Corporates, an initiative that delivers Corporate-To-Bank (C2B) and Bank-To-Corporate (B2C) message flows for a number of traditional trade products

In 2010, J.P. Morgan made the strategic decision that SWIFT Trade for Corporates and the Trade Services Utility will be the initiatives that look to revolutionize the multi-bank environment between Corporates and Banks

J.P. Morgan continues to work closely with SWIFT, participating in Global Trade forums and has accepted invitations from Corporates to aid in explaining these initiatives

Bank Payment Obligation (BPO) – Combine the best features across letters of credit and open account trade flows

The BPO is a new component of the Trade Services Utility (TSU), a data matching and workflow engine based on ISO 20022 accredited XML messaging standards which helps buyer and seller communicate

more effectively in cross border trade via their banking partners.

Efficient exchange of trade related informationEfficient exchange of trade related information

What is it?

TSU was developed by SWIFT to provide efficient exchange of trade related information on an open account basis, through common messaging, industry standards and a utility supported by banks globally

BPO is an irrevocable (conditional) obligation of an obligor bank (typically the buyer’s bank) to pay a specified amount to a recipient bank (the seller’s bank) based on the successful matching of agreed datasets within the TSU

How it works?

Uses SWIFT standardized XML languages and sub sets of data (e.g. ISO 20022)

The data is extracted from existing electronic documentation which represent the basic documentary requirements under LCs – Commercial, Transport, Insurance, Certificate

Centralized data matching and workflow engine designed to handle open account business using SWIFT

Importer or Exporter does not need to be SWIFT or TSU enabled as the interaction is managed by banks

Evolution Of BPO In The MarketplaceEvolution Of BPO In The Marketplace

43 – Countries covered (including North America (USA, Canada), Western Europe, China, India, Brazil among others)

131 – Number of country locations including J.P. Morgan, HSBC, Bank of China, Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi UFJ, Citibank, Deutsche amongst others

Initial Industry Applicability – Oil & Gas, Mining, Pharmaceutical, Retail, Chemicals

Comparison of a BPO to a Letter of CreditComparison of a BPO to a Letter of Credit

A LC is an irrevocable payment undertaking between a bank and a corporate client, whereas a BPO is an irrevocable payment undertaking between the buyers bank and the sellers bank

Under a LC, an obligation to pay is created based on the presentation of compliant documents; under BPO an obligation to pay is created based on the presentation of compliant data

Under an LC, document checking is manually undertaken and the bank takes the documentary risk; in the case of a BPO the checking of data is automated within the TSU at SWIFT’s risk

Letters of Credit are governed under Uniform Custom and Practice (UCP600), whereas the BPO is governed by the SWIFT TSU Rule Book

The Bank Payment Obligation (BPO)A new alternative instrument for trade settlement

A BPO is an irrevocable undertaking given by one bank to another bank that payment will be made on a specified date after a successful electronic matching of data according to an industry-wide set of rules.

New ICC Uniformed Rules for BPO Target adoption: April 2013

Designed to complement and not to replace existing solutions

Letters of Credit BPO Open account

Guaranteed exchange of goods for payment based on physical

Guaranteed exchange of goods for payment based on electronic

presentation of compliant data

Exchange of goods for payment based on trust

Long established instrument with basic functionality in use for

hundreds of yearsHigh degree of security for

buyers and sellersVery low default rates for banks;

short-term, self-liquidating

Fully automated processing with low transaction costs

Industry standard data formatsHigh degree of security for the

seller to receive payment

Flexible arrangement requiring no specific infrastructure, processes or

standardsOwing to buyers ability to dictate

terms of trade, risk can be pushed to the seller

Significant amount of manual processing / paperwork

70% rejected on first presentation owing to

discrepanciesHigh costs involved for banks and

corporates

Some risk to the buyer as payment is triggered by the matching of the

COLLABORATIVEThere is collaboration between buyer & seller in the selection of the BPO as the agreed payment terms.

There is competition between banks in terms of the level of service they can offer to the corporate in respect of risk mitigation, financing, payment assurance, process efficiency, price etc. In this competitive space, there are no rules or

mandatory standards. Banks & corporates are free to negotiate their own terms by way of bilateral forms of agreement.

There is collaboration between banks in terms of the establishment of a BPO subject to the matching of specified data elements. In this collaborative space, the adoption of the rules (URBPO) and ISO

20022 TSMT messaging standards is mandatory.

BP Chemicals case SCB offers BPO to replace confirmed L/Cs

36

Challenges• About 50% of exposure on secured terms • Competitive commodities market requires a

secure and cheaper alternative to L/Cs• High processing and confirming costs (0.8%

of transaction value) • LCs process limits commercial possibilities

and weakens compliance under certain conditions.

Company profile• 2010 Revenues of USD 14 billion • Revenue created for approx. 50% in Asia• Trade account receivables of EUR 1.4

billion (consolidated receivables only)• More than 600 clients worldwide

Key benefits• Get paid on time and avoid judicial proceedings • Reduce complexity – removal of paper trail• Limit to relevant trade information only • Reduce cost by removing vetting activities and

presentation assistance• Improve customer offer by allowing for flexible

options• Improve speed of handling discrepancies • Reduce the risk of discrepancies• Reduce need for confirmation cost by being able

to tap larger pools. Free up banking lines.• Easy to exercise tool for liquidity• Easier access to banks to secure transactions • Possibility to spread the risk with multiple obligors• Avoid unnecessary paper flows.

Gains expected greater than $1m per year worldwidebut most of the upside lies in more marginal income

Questions on BPO to bankers

• What’s in it for buyers?

• What’s in it for sellers?

• Are banks ready?

• Which changes are required on the customer contracts?

• How should a corporate start? Is any technology required for corporate clients?

Why shall banks consider BPO?

To benefit from new sources of transaction banking revenue

To provide trade services in a cost effective wayand benefit from a higher margin

To stay in the game andrespond to market demand and trends

To be more competitive and innovative

As trade will grow by 2020 and beyond, banks need to get ready to mitigate payment risks and offer flexible financing in

a modern way
