How We Transact
A safe, fair and transparent path for commodity trade.
In international trade both sides fear the same thing: the seller fears shipping and not being paid; the buyer fears paying and not receiving the right goods. We remove that fear by making trust structural, not personal. Neither party has to trust the other — both trust the process.
Our principle
We work by a single, clear and non-negotiable rule, set at the outset so there are no surprises and no last-minute detours:
Verified payment before any supply commitment. Verified goods before any payment. And the exchange happens simultaneously.
How it works
Recorded agreement
The parties agree product, quantity, quality, price and terms on the platform. Everything is documented.
Goods verified
The seller places the goods in a certified warehouse. An independent inspection confirms quality and quantity.
Protected payment
The buyer places the payment in a neutral deposit, held under the responsibility of a specialised institution or partner, where applicable — braziltrad does not receive, hold or administer these funds. The architecture provides for integration with duly authorized institutions for conversion into local currency, in accordance with applicable regulation.
Staged shipment
With both sides secured, the goods ship and payment is released in stages as delivery progresses.
Simultaneous exchange
After independent inspection at destination, the exchange completes in a single act: the buyer receives the goods and the seller receives payment.
Faster, more predictable settlement
Depending on the infrastructure used, the architecture may provide:
- ✓ International settlement in minutes, rather than days.
- ✓ Potential reduction of international transfer costs.
- ✓ Greater predictability in the settlement process.
- ✓ Conversion to local currency through duly authorized institutions, in accordance with applicable regulation.
braziltrad does not directly perform regulated financial services; where these exist, they are provided by duly authorized partners.
What each side gains
For sellers
- •You only deliver once payment is secured. No shipping in the dark.
- •You may benefit from faster, more predictable settlement, without relying on slow confirming banks.
- •You reach buyers worldwide, including hard-to-access markets.
For buyers
- •You only pay once the goods are confirmed by independent inspection.
- •Pay in different currencies — without relying solely on dollar access. Use what you have.
- •Less paperwork and lower cost than traditional instruments.
What we require from both sides
The same rules protect everyone. We therefore require, of both parties, without exception:
Verified identity
Know-your-counterparty and anti-money-laundering checks (KYC/AML) on both sides.
Real value behind the word
Proof of funds or verified security from the buyer; certified goods from the seller.
Written rules
Terms and dispute-resolution rules agreed in writing, before any shipment.
Our commitment
No last-minute changes. The rules are fixed from the start and apply to both sides.
No hidden steps. Every stage is verifiable and documented, from agreement to delivery.
No one acting in good faith is harmed. The process only filters out those unwilling to back their word with real value — and that protects you.
