We’re thrilled to announce the launch of GTK – Global Trade Konnect, Komgo’s next-generation business application for trade finance.

“This isn’t just another tool. GTK is Komgo’s new flagship — the culmination of everything we’ve learned from building digital solutions for the world’s leading corporates and financial institutions over the past years.” - Souleïma Baddi, CEO at Komgo.

Built for corporates, designed for scale

GTK is a web-based application for enterprise-wide corporates, simplifying daily guarantee-related and trade finance operations. It enables the digital management of all incoming and outgoing trade instruments in one secure, unified platform.

💡  What makes GTK unique?

GTK brings together Komgo’s most trusted components into one powerful platform:

•   User experience – Based on the proven foundations of @GlobalTrade, GTK features a completely redesigned interface that meets the highest standards in usability.

•   Bank and Insurer Connectivity – Integrated with Konsole APIs and four additional communication channels, GTK ensures seamless, secure interactions with all your financial partners.

•   Paperless by Default – Integrated with Trakk, GTK brings beneficiaries, applicants, and financing partners into a single ecosystem of digital instruments.

•   Smarter Financing – Integrated with Market, GTK gives clients instant access to the right financing partners, accelerating the process and decision-making.

•   Easily Deployable – Built on AWS, GTK offers the scale, speed, and reliability that enterprise clients expect.

•   Open by Design – With a flexible architecture, GTK supports easy integration with your TMS, ERPs, and internal systems.

Whether you're managing Letters of Credit, SBLCs, Bank Guarantees, Corporate Guarantees or Sureties, GTK allows you to manage, automate, and report trade finance activities — all in one place.

✅   Manage

Digital workflows and thousands of trade instruments

Say goodbye to email threads, paper applications, and wet-ink signatures. GTK replaces fragmented communication with structured digital requests, complete with built-in signature workflows. Manage thousands of instruments with speed and consistency.

Team’s structure and centralize trade finance management

GTK is fully configurable, giving head offices and local entities the right level of autonomy and oversight. Whether centralized or decentralized, GTK aligns with your organization’s governance. ​

Credit facilities utilization in real-time, across banks and geographies

Get live visibility on the availability and utilization of your credit lines, across banks and geographies. Whether your financing partners are defined or still being sourced, GTK helps optimize decision-making.

✅   Automate

Bank communications and reconciliation

GTK provides access to all trade finance communication channels, enabling your organization to seamlessly connect with financing partners and exchange structured data and attachments.​

Fee calculations and internal allocation

Our fee matrix can be configured by facility, credit limit, and financial institution. It streamlines and automates the calculation of internal and external fees, both estimated and actual fees.

Alerts and key actions

GTK accelerates operational processing by providing timely reports and accurate notifications such as issuance confirmations, required actions and expiry dates.​

✅   Report

Out-of-the-box and custom reporting

GTK comes with a suite of out-of-the-box reports that meet most operational needs. Need more? Build your own reports by aggregating data from GTK and external sources.

Utilization forecasts

Thanks to structured workflows and digital records, GTK lets you forecast usage and risk across your trade finance operations with confidence.

Seamless integration into the broader corporate IT ecosystem

GTK connects with your ERP and TMS, ensuring reporting, monitoring, and workflows are fully embedded into your existing environment.
