DMCC Tradeflow
Enabling efficient, transparent trade
An innovative trading platform to register ownership of commodities
DMCC Tradeflow is a flexible and customised online platform to register possession and ownership of commodities stored in UAE-based facilities.
Established in 2004, DMCC Tradeflow is a unique platform launched to address a gap in the regional trade finance market and has witnessed a year-on-year increase of transactions.
DMCC Tradeflow now provides a range of online services specifically designed to facilitate collateral financing, jewellery financing and provide Islamic Finance solutions.
The success of Tradeflow is largely due to DMCC’s ability to work alongside the global commodities industry, form partnerships and create trade enabling eco-systems.
Consistent high performance is driving the expansion of Tradeflow and has resulted in the development of innovative trading platforms that cater specifically for the trade finance demands of emerging markets such as China and India.
