The Challenge

Oil Trade Payments Still Depend on Third Parties

In today's digital economy, trade data is increasingly transparent — yet the most critical part of the transaction still relies on legacy intermediaries to move money. In physical oil trade, payments are typically routed through multiple third-party providers, banks, and correspondent networks, each adding cost, friction, and loss of control.

The result is a structural gap: sellers are often forced into 60–90 day settlement cycles driven by commercial terms and risk holds (documents, inspection, title transfer, disputes, cross-border checks). Even when bank rails settle quickly, the seller still waits — and the transaction history lives across disconnected systems you don't own.

  • Delayed seller payment
  • Too many intermediaries
  • Limited control & visibility
  • Reconciliation complexity
  • Compliance drag

Oil is global. Payments shouldn't be fragmented. The market needs a gateway that makes settlement programmable, auditable, and controlled in-house.

The Impact

Why This Matters for Oil Trade

When sellers wait 60–90 days for payment, working capital is locked. When multiple intermediaries add fees and complexity, trade velocity slows. When payment data lives across external systems, you lose control and visibility.

The cost isn't just in fees — it's in opportunity, risk, and the inability to scale efficiently.

"Traditional payment rails weren't built for modern commodity trade.
We needed a solution that gives us control, reduces intermediaries,
and makes settlement programmable — not just faster."
