Transformation of global Trade Finance

banks, enterprises and partners worldwide.

partners.

“As our business continues to grow following its launch at the start of October, we are constantly
looking to expand our network with technology that enhances trade processes and overcomes
longstanding obstacles that the traditionally paper-based industry has been subject to. Our vision to
create a global standard for trade will be achieved through our work with other technology providers
that build upon the interoperability of our network and streamlines processes. With Mphasis’s global
footprint and expertise in financial services, our work together will ensure that organisations can reap
the benefit of improved trade,” said Carl Wegner, CEO, Contour.

“We are inspired by Contour’s vision and excited to be a partner in their growth journey. With over two

well - embrace the power of the network to catalyze and accelerate their own digital transformation,”
