The file is half-scored before a human touches it.

Our model reads NCS customs manifest data, shipment route risk, and cross-border buyer payment history — and produces a structured risk summary before the underwriter opens the application.

  • Shipment risk: commodity type, origin port, freight route, transit time flags
  • Customs intelligence: your NCS clearance record, HS code history, duty anomalies
  • Buyer reliability: payment terms compliance, dispute history, buyer country risk

What traders on the Lagos corridor say

Our Q3 electronics consignment from Shenzhen cleared Apapa in two days. The bank LC would have taken three weeks minimum. We have stopped budgeting for LC wait time.
Tunde Balogun Import Manager, electronics distributor — Lagos
Their Form M checklist is exactly what NCS requires — no back-and-forth, no missing documents. First application went straight through. I was not expecting that the first time.
Amara Eze Operations Director, FMCG importer — Ikeja
We took on a garment export order to the UAE that we would have had to decline. Pre-shipment finance covered production and packing. The buyer paid in 60 days, we settled Trade Lenda on schedule.
