One of the missing links for TradeCard, a global online trade transaction settlement company, is about to slot in place. Dah Sing Bank has agreed to provide export finance to TradeCard users - albeit only those based in Hong Kong. Dah Sing will become the first Asian bank to provide online export financing via the TradeCard platform. "This is the dawn of a new era in trade financing in Asia," says Derek Wong, managing director of Dah Sing.
