What TradeCore takes off your hands
Less manual work between systems, no release that bypasses the control system, and a justification that still holds years later.
Nothing slips through
While a material finding is open, TradeCore blocks both release and payout – enforced on the server, not just on screen.
Every decision evidenced
Every check records its legal basis, rule and list version and the data it assessed – traceable years later.
Four eyes, technically enforced
Whoever worked the case cannot approve it – for releases, matches, findings, holds and exceptions.
More than name matching
Networks, shell companies, vessels, routes, goods and prices – checked in the context of each transaction.
What TradeCore looks like.
The short film for trade finance banks: 25 product variants and their rulebooks, the release gate and its controls, country risk from official sources, World Bank reference prices, four eyes and a hash-chained audit trail. Demo data only.
Around TradeCore.
Country risk with sources, commodity reference prices, the daily compliance brief and screening in the context of the transaction – each product usable on its own, together one system.

For trade finance banks and financiers.
Letters of credit, guarantees, collections and export finance are among a bank’s riskiest business: many parties, goods, vessels and countries, little time. TFI TradeCore runs every transaction through sanctions, export control and TBML controls, blocks release while a finding is open and documents every decision so that supervisors and internal audit can follow it.

Frequently asked questions
What is TFI TradeCore?
The working and control platform for compliance in trade finance: every letter of credit, guarantee, collection and financing is checked as a case, decided under the four-eyes principle and fully evidenced. It comes with TFI TradeScreen for screening, TFI RiskChart for country risk, TFI PriceChart for commodity reference prices and the daily TFI Newsletter.
Is TradeCore available yet?
For demos and pilot projects, yes. TradeCore is technically complete and backed by more than 3,600 automated tests (as of September 2026), but not yet released for production use with real customer data. TFI RiskChart and the newsletter already run.
Who is TFI TradeCore for?
Mainly trade finance banks and financiers: letters of credit, guarantees and collections with sanctions, export control and TBML checks. Insurers and export credit agencies can use TradeCore to check the parties and transactions behind guarantees and covers; their own steps, such as the cover application or bribery and environmental review, we support with advisory and adapt in the pilot project. Exporters and companies use RiskChart, the newsletter and advisory.
What happened to TFI Sentinel?
TFI Sentinel is now called TFI TradeScreen and is the screening workspace in TradeCore.
Do you provide legal advice or statutory audits?
No. We deliver software and advise on and review compliance organisation, processes and controls. Legal questions are resolved with your legal department or external counsel.
How does an engagement start?
With a demo or a confidential intro call. We then propose a clearly scoped, fixed-price starting point – such as a health check, a RiskChart licence or a TradeCore pilot project.
See the platform on your cases.
In a demo we show you TFI TradeCore on your products, countries and use cases – and discuss where advisory or an audit gives you the most leverage. No obligation, confidential, and with specialists in trade finance.
