MEDIA RELEASE
TradeWindow teams up with Mastercard to simplify cross-
border payments and increase access to trade finance
21 January 2022
Auckland, NZ. TradeWindow a software company that provides digital solutions for
exporters, importers, freight forwarders and customs brokers, today announced a
collaboration with Mastercard, to increase trust across the supply chain and boost
cash flow for Australasian businesses through integrated cross-border payments
solutions.
Digitization has brought physical supply chains and financial supply chains closer
together, however many companies and particularly SMEs have limited access to
digital services and can find international trade complex, time-consuming and
costly.
To address this, TradeWindow has integrated Mastercard’s payment network and
technology with their digital trade platform ‘Cube’. The combined innovation
platform will improve trust between trading partners and support event-based
payment triggers, enabling earlier payment options and better reconciliation.
TradeWindow CEO, AJ Smith says that the partnership with Mastercard is an exciting
step for the NZX listed software company.
“Our aim is to make cross border trade easier for exporters, and also support the
acceleration of global trade. Working with a trusted global technology leader like
Mastercard, TradeWindow is advancing a secure and robust payment and trade
finance offering on our platform that will help our customers to grow their export,
import and trade-related businesses,” says Mr Smith.
Commenting on the collaboration, Claire Thompson, Executive Vice President,
Global Trade, Mastercard Enterprise Partnerships said “Mastercard is powering the
digital economy, providing organisations large and small with the tools they need to
run and grow their business. By combining our payments technology with
TradeWindow, our collaboration aims to remove barriers to cross-border trade,
simplifying payment processes and empowering Australasian businesses with
integrated and automated solutions that help them to pay and get paid more
easily.”.
