It allows us to deliver consistency to our customers, leverage global synergies and seamlessly expand our footprint.”

Recent additions include a supplier portal and integrated payables offerings. Upcoming releases of CGI Trade360 will feature collateral management for commodity finance. These capabilities continue to enable financial institutions like ANZ to further expand their trade banking services for their corporate clients.

Scott Ayer, Senior Vice President of CGI in Australia commented, “CGI’s banking and financial markets experience and expertise has enabled us to work with many of the world’s leading banks to improve trade, payments and collections processes. We have delivered the global trade platform as a service to ANZ since 2001 and look forward to supporting their continued growth throughout the Asia Pacific region.”
