BCV has been active in financing international commodities transactions – metals, agricultural products and petroleum derivatives – for over 20 years. We are a major competitor in this area thanks to our solidity, our decentralized decision-making, and the vast experience of our trade-finance staff.
Positions in trade finance (e.g., relationship manager, analyst and documentary credit advisor) involve both front-office activities and support roles. Working in this field requires a thorough knowledge of the trade-finance process, close attention to risk and language skills.
One of the strengths of BCV’s Trade Finance department is having our entire team of experts working together at our headquarters in Lausanne. This facilitates teamwork among the various sectors (e.g., the front office, documentary credit and credit analysis). It also improves response times: our decision-making process is one of the fastest among trade-finance players.
As part of our team, you may be called on to provide personalized customer service, prepare documentary credits or help manage our relationship with other financial institutions. You may be involved in delivering advisory services to trading companies operating in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Asia, South America and all around the Mediterranean.
