Risk management
Know the risks and secure your trade
International trade is often more risky than domestic trade. Risks can be introduced through the larger distances between trading partners. Others might be associated with cultural differences, or variations in political and economic environments. National and international regulations can further complicate matters.
Deutsche Reserve Kb as a leader in trade finance, we know how to help you succeed in international trade.
At Deutsche Reserve Kb, we believe in working closely with our customers, getting to understand your business and helping you minimise your exposure to risks. Our comprehensive portfolio of trade finance products, allied to our unrivalled knowledge of global trade, helps you trade internationally with confidence.
Types of risk
Trading partners potentially face many different types of risk. We typically consider these risks in three broad categories.
Commercial risk.
Deutsche Reserve Kb can work with you to identify how reliable your trading partners are, and to evaluate the possible risks of insolvency or unwillingness to pay. We can also advise on payment methods that can mitigate some of these risks. We have a range of financial trade instruments that can help you manage risks in importing and exporting.
Political risk.
Because we operate in the major financial centers across the world, we diligently track political and economic circumstances. If import or export regulations change, we’ll keep you informed.
Currency risk.
Exchange rates can fluctuate significantly over time. That in turn can affect the value of your foreign trades. Deutsche Reserve Kb offers a range of foreign exchange tools that can reduce your exposure to currency fluctuations.
