DP World Trade Finance reaches $1bn-mark

[ July 23, 2025   //   ]

DP World Trade Finance has now surpassed the $1 billion mark in trade financed, four years since the platform’s launch. DP World Trade Finance combines its regulatory lending license with its global logistics network.

This integrated model helps lenders make faster, more informed decisions, says DP World.

The milestone was achieved through a combination of DP World’s own lending operations and partnerships with more than 32 financial institutions globally- including J.P. Morgan, Standard Bank and NedBank.

DP World Trade Finance has enabled trade across Africa, the Americas, Asia, and Europe, supporting sectors including agriculture, metals, automotive and engineering.

Sinan Ozcan, senior executive officer, DP World Trade Finance, said: “Cross-border trade is the engine of global economic growth, but access to affordable finance remains a critical barrier for many businesses, especially SMEs in emerging markets. Reaching this $1 billion milestone reflects our commitment to changing that. Through DP World Trade Finance, we’ve created a network that connects businesses with capital, streamlines the financing process and enables trade to flow more consistently on a global scale.”
