Trade Finance Forum 2022 – Dubai | ITFA | 28 September 2022 | DIFC Academy, Dubai International Financial Centre, The Gate Village, Gate Village, Building 02 - Dubai - UAE

The International Trade and Forfaiting Association, ITFA, is the worldwide trade association for companies, financial institutions and intermediaries engaged in global trade, forfaiting, supply chain and receivables financing.

Founded in 1999, ITFA is an association made up of circa 300 members from all over the world. ITFA brings together banks and financial institutions who are engaged in originating and distributing trade related risk and finding creative ways to mitigate risks. Expanding from its original focus on the purchase and discounting of simple but robust payment instruments, such as negotiable instruments and letters of credit, the forfaiting industry has embraced new instruments and created new structures to become a prominent part of supply chain finance. ITFA acts as a valuable forum for its members to interact and transact business together profitably and safely.
