What is Trade Finance
Trade Finance, in the Fifo approach, is essentially a line of credit based on your payables. But it’s more than that — it’s a financial service designed to help businesses achieve their goals by providing the credit and resources needed to facilitate trade transactions.
For Australian SMEs, trade finance is crucial in mitigating risks, managing cash flow, and ensuring smooth operations throughout the trade cycle. It’s an essential tool for navigating global commerce and driving business growth.

Frequently asked questions
Trade finance refers to the financial instruments and products used by businesses engaged in trade to facilitate the exchange of goods and services.
This includes both international and domestic trade.
To qualify for trade finance, businesses need to show trade activity, creditworthiness, collateral (if required), documentation to support the application, and compliance with relevant laws and regulations.
Meeting these requirements and demonstrating a strong track record of trade activity, creditworthiness, and compliance can increase a business’s chances of being approved for trade finance products and services.
Additionally, some specific product eligibility criteria may apply depending on the type of trade finance product or service they are seeking.
For trade finance funding, we require businesses to have been operating for at least 12 months, have an active ABN or ACN, and meet minimum monthly and/or annual turnover requirements.
Trade finance offers businesses involved in both domestic and international trade a variety of financial products and services.
These services range from financing the purchase of goods to managing risks associated with cross-border transactions, providing valuable support for businesses engaged in trade.
Our funding options start from as little as $50K and go up to $2M.
Depending on the needs and circumstances of your business, we can offer you one or more finance solutions across trade, invoice, supply chain finance and/or a short-term business loan.
Our experienced team takes the time to understand your business needs and goals, so we can provide you with the right finance solutions that meet your current needs.
To start this process, simply get in touch with our team, or complete an application online using Fifopay.
Standard requirements are:
– ABN or ACN
– Financial documents
We only ever ask for the documentation we need in order to assess your business’ circumstances.
We offer two streams of funding: Fast Track Finance and Custom Built Solutions.
Designed for SME businesses, our Fast Track Finance allows you quick access to funding, up to $500K.
We specialise in providing fast and flexible funding solutions for businesses through our range of finance facilities, including invoice finance, supply chain finance, trade finance, and business loans.
With our streamlined application process, we can give you an indicative offer within just 24 hours and get funding to you in as little as a week.
For businesses that need larger amounts of funding — $500K-$2M — we offer bespoke finance options through our Custom Built Solutions. Our team will create a finance facility that best suits your business within 2-3 weeks.
For businesses requiring fast access to larger funds, we can offer a combination of the two streams — by providing pre-approval up to $500K — in order to assist you to get the funds you need sooner. To get the ball rolling, get in touch with our team.
