Expanding Supply Chain Finance: Connecting Banks to Opportunities in Asia

MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Banks spend US$630 million globally on supply chain finance (SCF) systems according to a December 2012 study by Aite Group. In Asia, banks have a tremendous opportunity to expand their relationships with corporate and government customers by offering SCF solutions, particularly for complex spend categories like transportation. SCF providers, such as Syncada from Visa, offer a global perspective and substantial expertise in this field.
