Settlements

Financial Infrastructurefor Cross-Border Trade

Settlement considered as part of the transaction structure, not as a separate final step.

Cooperation

International commodity transactions can involve multiple jurisdictions, currencies, counterparties and contractual milestones.

Han Eurasia Resources works in cooperation with Wolf Ventures SWISS AG, combining Central Asian commodity trading and logistics with international financial and settlement infrastructure.

Settlement is considered as part of the broader transaction structure rather than as a separate final step. The objective is straightforward: align the movement of funds with the underlying commercial transaction.

Areas
01

Cross-Border SettlementsAcross markets. Across currencies.

Support for settlement structures involving counterparties operating across different jurisdictions and currencies.

The appropriate structure depends on the location of the parties, transaction currency, banking requirements and the commercial terms agreed between counterparties.

02

Structured Trade SettlementsPayments aligned with execution.

Payment structures can be aligned with commercial, contractual and logistics milestones depending on the requirements of the transaction.

This may help create greater clarity between the movement of goods, transaction documentation and the timing of settlement.

03

Escrow SolutionsConditional settlement where appropriate.

Where suitable, transactions may incorporate conditional settlement mechanisms structured around agreed contractual requirements.

Such mechanisms are considered individually depending on the transaction structure, counterparties and settlement requirements.

04

Fiat & Digital InfrastructureInfrastructure that serves the transaction.

Traditional financial infrastructure remains central to international trade settlement. Where appropriate and permitted, digital settlement infrastructure may complement conventional payment rails.

The choice of infrastructure should support the commercial transaction rather than define it.

Settlement as Part of Execution
01Commercial AgreementTerms agreed between buyer and seller.
02Counterparty ReviewParties and jurisdictions reviewed before funds move.
03Settlement StructureCurrencies, instruments and routing selected.
04Delivery MilestoneDelivery evidenced against the agreed terms.
05Final SettlementBalance released and the transaction closed.

Settlement arrangements are determined individually and remain subject to applicable legal requirements, financial institution requirements, compliance review and counterparty acceptance. Different transactions may therefore require different settlement models depending on jurisdiction, currency, counterparties and contractual structure.

Counterparties and jurisdictions understood before funds are committed.

Currencies, instruments and routing chosen to suit the transaction.

One Process

For international commodity transactions, commercial structure, logistics and settlement are closely connected. Our approach is to consider them as parts of the same execution process.
