Trade receivables securitization is a specialized form of structured trade finance enabling corporates to monetize large pools of receivables, thereby unlocking liquidity. Glencore’s $2.55B facility, backed by a consortium of six leading financial institutions, marks a significant milestone in the evolution of structured trade finance for the commodities sector.

Glencore PLC, one of the world’s largest diversified natural resources companies and a leading marketer and producer of commodities across metals, minerals and energy products, selected the FIS Supply Chain Finance Platform to provide the technology infrastructure, reporting capabilities and operational support for this complex, multi-jurisdictional transaction.
