Wells Fargo has announced a partnership with TradeSun, aimed at integrating TradeSun’s cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) technology into their trade finance and compliance processes. This collaboration is set to transform how Wells Fargo handles trade finance, utilizing TradeSun’s AI platform to automate manual processes and enhance efficiency across global operations.

TradeSun’s AI-driven platform will allow Wells Fargo to digitize, extract, validate, and classify unstructured data efficiently. This technology is designed to streamline the complex and traditionally manual processes within trade finance, such as compliance screening and document checking. The use of AI is expected to not only increase the bank’s operational capacity but also drive new business by optimizing time-consuming tasks.

Nigel Hook, Founder and CEO of TradeSun, expressed his enthusiasm about the collaboration, stating, “Through our voyage with Wells Fargo, we’ve learned how efficiently they operate. I am personally driven to ensure the TradeSun AI platform continues to accelerate their leadership in the market. At TradeSun, we are inspired by Wells Fargo’s decision to invest in this relationship. It is a powerful validation of TradeSun’s innovation in digitizing global trade finance.”

One way our team is leading this work is by leveraging AI to enhance our clients’ experience and working with TradeSun is a key part of that strategy.”

TradeSun is revolutionizing the field of trade finance digitalization with its new release that introduces advanced features for cognitive data capture and intelligent process automation. The platform not only performs automated trade reconciliation but also includes TradeSun’s CoriolisESG solution for first-of-a-kind sustainable transaction scoring. Furthermore, the Global Markets Explorer tool within the platform provides deep insights into supply chain data for over 460 million companies, aiding in risk management and market expansion.
