A marketplace and system of record that connects capital with documented export shipments. Edenex operates the platform and keeps the record; it holds no client funds and does not itself provide custody, payment, exchange or investment services. Regulated activities are performed by licensed firms under their own permissions.
A subordinated position in the financing of one identified export shipment – goods already sold to a named overseas importer, not a blind pool. You do not own the goods; you hold a position in that deal and are repaid from its proceeds.
Cover, collateral and the payout order are set on the deal before capital moves. Where a policy attaches, the claim runs first; recovery and collection follow; whatever is received is then paid out in the agreed order, senior before junior. Junior is priced for that position. Capital is at risk and no outcome is guaranteed.
Outside the operator, by design. The platform is built so that client funds sit with licensed custodians, escrow agents and authorised payment firms in segregated accounts under their own permissions, while Edenex issues instructions and keeps the record. No part of the design brings client money to Edenex. Some of these arrangements are still being put in place.
No. Edenex does not execute payments. Cross-border and invoice settlement is designed to run through licensed payment providers on their own permissions, inside the deal timeline.
Yes. Exporters go through KYB and document checks; financing is arranged per deal against confirmed orders and invoices. Acceptance is not automatic.
Each role onboards separately: KYB, a permissions check and a role agreement. Lenders fund the senior tranche, insurers underwrite cover where a policy attaches, and payment, logistics and customs partners act inside the deal timeline under their own licences.
