Tradewind Finance Provides USD 2.5 Million Non-Recourse Export Factoring Facility to Vietnamese Cable Exporter
Media OutReach Newswire 
Receivables financing facility enables competitive open account terms and supports international growth
SHANGHAI, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 21 April 2026 – Tradewind Finance has provided a USD 2.5 million non-recourse export factoring facility to a cable manufacturer based in Vietnam. The facility, structured by Tradewind’s Shanghai office, converts export receivables into immediate liquidity and provides credit protection on buyers in the United States and Australia.
With this structure in place, the exporter maintains 90-day open account terms for its international buyers without placing pressure on working capital.
How Longer Payment Terms Strained a Manufacturer’s Liquidity
The client is a cable manufacturer with over 30 years of operating history in Vietnam. For most of that period, the company relied on advance payments and letters of credit to manage its export transactions.
As competition in global cable supply increased, buyers began requiring open account terms as a condition of continued business. The exporter transitioned accordingly, but the shift created a significant gap between production costs and the moment of payment collection.
The company had export credit insurance in place, which provided partial protection against buyer default. However, the residual risk exposure of 10 to 20 percent remained uncovered, and the insurance did not address the working capital shortfall that came with extended payment cycles. Despite a strong order book and established buyer relationships, the exporter’s cash position was under pressure.
How the Facility Works: Converting Receivables into Working Capital
Tradewind structured a non-recourse export factoring facility aligned with the client’s trade flows to the United States and Australia. The facility operates as follows:
- Advance funding: Tradewind advances up to 90 percent of each invoice value shortly after shipment, converting receivables into available cash.
- Credit protection: Because the facility is non-recourse, Tradewind assumes the buyer credit risk. By leveraging this structure, the exporter benefits from 100% credit protection against buyer default or insolvency.
- Collections management: Tradewind manages the receivables administration and collection process, reducing the operational burden on the exporter’s finance team.
This structure replaces the partial protection previously offered by export credit insurance with a more comprehensive solution that covers both the financing gap and the full buyer credit risk on approved receivables.
What This Means for the Exporter
With the facility in place, the exporter can offer 90-day payment terms to its buyers without absorbing the cash flow impact internally. Production cycles are no longer constrained by the timing of buyer payments, and the company has a predictable source of liquidity tied directly to its shipment activity.
The non-recourse structure also removes a layer of financial uncertainty. Rather than relying on insurance with residual exposure, the exporter now operates with full credit coverage on approved buyers through Tradewind’s facility.
Why Tradewind Was Selected
Tradewind was selected for its ability to structure receivables financing solutions for cross-border trade flows involving multiple buyer markets. Key factors in the decision included:
- Over 25 years of experience in international trade finance, with particular depth in export factoring across Asia, the Americas, and Europe
- Local structuring capability through Tradewind’s Shanghai office, with direct knowledge of Vietnamese export markets
- A financing structure tailored to the client’s specific trade corridors and buyer payment terms
- Consistent execution and clear communication throughout the onboarding process
A Facility Built Around the Client’s Trade Flows
“This facility gives the client a reliable source of working capital tied directly to its export activity,” said Chris Chang, Regional Commercial Director, Far East at Tradewind Shanghai. “By structuring the solution around their specific trade flows to the United States and Australia, we were able to address both the financing gap and the credit risk exposure in a single facility.”
