Certainly, PayPal qualifies as a FinTech company. Any organization that merges financial services with technology falls under the FinTech umbrella.

This makes PayPal a prime example of a FinTech company.
May 3, 2023 at 12:57 pm in reply to: Could investing in penny stocks lead to profitable returns or is it too risky for the average investor? Please share your experiences and insights on investing in penny stocks. Also, I’m considering investing in Triterras Inc. (TRIRF) fintech stock. Can this be a promising investment opportunity? #2266Farhana BegumParticipantPenny stocks are low-priced equities with the potential for rapid price increases. Always keep in mind that trading penny stocks successfully calls for extensive preparation, methodical approaches, and an eye for unrealized potential. Penny stocks can be profitable if you follow these three guidelines:
1. Research the company’s fundamentals
2. Employ technical analysis
3. Keep up with the newest newsInvestors in penny stocks must keep an eye on business financial reports, announcements, and broader market developments and macroeconomic issues to keep abreast of the most recent developments. A company’s fundamentals can be analyzed by looking at its financial standing, place in its industry, and management. This might be useful for picking out penny stocks with a sustainable cash flow, little debt, and an edge in the market. Technical analysis is method traders and investors use to forecast price patterns by analyzing data from the past. Chart analysis, finding levels of support and resistance, and volume analysis are all part of this.
Triterras Inc. (TRIRF), a fintech company, has experienced significant share price volatility over the past three months; therefore, prospective investors should proceed with caution. Over the past five years, the firm has exhibited good earnings growth, with an annual average increase of 8.6%. They have substantial revenue ($60M) and positive shareholder’s equity ($0). These considerations suggest that buying Triterras stock may be a good idea. Like any investment, though, this one requires careful thought about the costs and benefits.

January 26, 2023 at 6:44 am in reply to: How do new trade tariffs and agreements affect trade finance companies? #1921Farhana BegumParticipantHi
I have learnt that the natural resources of most countries and their abilities to produce certain commodities both act as barriers that restrict those nations’ capabilities. They engage in international trade to meet the requirements of their people. However, business dealings are not always done in a cordial manner. Disagreement between trade partners is common and may be caused by a variety of variables, including policies, geopolitics, competitiveness, and more.
- Tariffs are imposed by governments to accomplish a variety of goals, including raising income, protecting domestic businesses, and applying political pressure on another nation.
- Higher costs at the checkout are one of the many unintended consequences of tariffs.
- Tariffs have been the subject of much controversy throughout history, with opposing sides arguing their pros and cons.
January 18, 2023 at 11:54 am in reply to: How can banks and other financial institutions prevent themselves from dealing with sanctioned persons and businesses? #2069Farhana BegumParticipantBanks and other financial institutions can prevent themselves from dealing with sanctioned persons and businesses by regularly screening their customers against the lists of sanctioned parties published by governments and international organizations. Additionally, businesses can also employ sanctions screening software to automate the process. Furthermore, businesses should also have an internal compliance program in place to ensure that all transactions are conducted in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Finally, businesses should conduct due diligence on any new relationships and be aware of any changes in the ownership or control of existing customers.
In some cases, a transaction may be illegal, but there is no interest in the transaction that can be blocked, like that of a Specially Designated National (SDN) or a blocked person or government. In these circumstances, the transaction is either not executed because it is deemed to be fraudulent or it is denied outright and sent back to the person who initiated it.
January 16, 2023 at 8:38 am in reply to: In the context of international trade financing, what factors should be taken into account when conducting a risk assessment? #1794Farhana BegumParticipantRisk assessment is encouraged when dealing with trade finance. Risk management is the process of identifying, assessing, and selecting an appropriate response to an identified risk in a business transaction. Financial crime risk factors; risk mitigation; due diligence; a holistic evaluation of financial crime risk; and a holistic assessment of securities fraud risk are the four primary areas of focus.
All parties’ credit histories must be checked, and additional due diligence conducted on other parties as required. Consider the end-buyers’ and payments’ non-financial and financial risks before approving a transaction.

November 1, 2022 at 11:02 am in reply to: What is the difference between Supply Chain Finance and Invoice Discounting? #1195Farhana BegumParticipantFrom the borrower’s point of view, factoring and invoice discounting look up the supply chain to a company’s customers and use these debts as security. On the other hand, supply chain finance looks down the supply chain to the suppliers.
Some providers of supply chain finance try to pass it off as something else, but it’s really a type of working capital finance that ensures liquidity in the same way that an overdraft does. The biggest difference is that the money is only used to pay suppliers.
From a security point of view, it makes no sense for a lender to take a supplier invoice as security. If the borrower doesn’t pay back the debt, the supplier isn’t likely to help.
June 29, 2022 at 12:18 pm in reply to: How can trade finance benefit my Singapore-based business? #1201Farhana BegumParticipantTrade finance helps a business grow by giving it the fund it needs to buy goods and stock. Keeping track of cash and working capital is a key part of running a successful business. Trade finance is a tool that can be used to get money out of a company’s existing stock or receivables or to add more finance facilities based on the trade cycles of a company.
By reducing the time between payments in your trade cycle, a trade finance facility may let you offer more competitive terms to both suppliers and customers. It is good for relationships and growth in the supply chain.
It is important to remember that trade finance is not led by the balance sheet of the borrower, but rather by the trade. So, small businesses with weaker balance sheets can use trade finance to trade much larger volumes of goods or services and work with stronger end customers.
Companies can also reduce business risks by using the right structures for trade finance. Late payments from debtors, bad debts, excess stock, and pushy creditors can all affect a business. External financing or revolving credit facilities can help ease this pressure by effectively financing trade flows.
June 11, 2022 at 12:24 pm in reply to: What trends in international trade finance fraud have you noticed recently? #1132Farhana BegumParticipantVerify your clients and suppliers to protect your business from fraud and crime, including money laundering. It could be a warning sign if a company or customer is unwilling to provide you with their information.
To combat money laundering, HRMC, the National Crime Agency (NCA), other agencies of law enforcement regulators, and professional organisations collaborate.
May 28, 2022 at 9:44 am in reply to: How may I safeguard my business from trade finance fraud? #1070Farhana BegumParticipantI believe that by remembering the following guidelines, you can safeguard your corporation when supplying trade credit. 1. Write the policy and financial papers precisely 2. Ensure that the specified terms in the preceding are constant so that the court does not apply constructions to the same terms in each document. 3. Keep in mind that brokerages should carefully examine financial information in transactions, particularly when establishing credit limits.

May 3, 2022 at 1:39 pm in reply to: How are the Factoring Rates determined by the trade financial institution? #946Farhana BegumParticipantHi.
I’ve learnt that Flat, tiered, and prime plus factoring rates are the three most popular forms. A number of factors, such as your monthly billing quantity, your industry, and client payment patterns, are used to calculate factoring rates.
In general, factoring charges are based on how much total invoicing you can sell. The lower the rate you’ll pay, the greater monthly volume you factor.
A factoring company takes on the liability that your client will pay them when they buy your invoice. Because of this, your pricing will be impacted by your customer’s credit. The provider will demand more for the increased credit risk if you select non-recourse factoring.
In all forms of funding, especially factoring, “time is money” Your rate will be influenced by the payment terms you’ve agreed upon with your client and the factor’s prior dealings with that account debtor.

April 13, 2022 at 1:46 pm in reply to: Define revolving LC and describe whether it is cumulative or non-cumulative. #741Farhana BegumParticipantThe LC is continuously replenished as it is taken by the beneficiary. It is generally used when exporters and importers have supply arrangements under which the exporters establish regular shipments and in response to which the importers must pay regularly. The revolving LCs impose a limit for each withdrawal done by the beneficiary. The two revolving LCs include non-cumulative (undrawn cash doesn’t roll over) and cumulative (undrawn cash moves to the next period).
